These reflections are a result of more than 40 years of ministry as a Roman Catholic priest. Most of these years I spent in the Diocese of Charlotte which covers Western North Carolina. Now I am retired, and live in Medellín, Colombia where I continue to serve as a priest in the Archdiocese of Medellín.

'Well done, my good and faithful servant . . . Come, share your master's joy.’ (Mt 25:14-30)

Today I think about the many wonderful priests in my Diocese of Charlotte who touched my life and have now gone before us: Fr Wil Thomas, Msgr Tony Kovacic, Fr Frank Connolly, Msgr Bill Pharr, Msgr Frank Smith, Fr Tom Clements, Fr Jim Cahill, Fr Bill Evans, Fr Ed Beatty, Fr Joe Kerin, Msgr Dick Allen, Fr Tom Walsh, Fr George Kloster, Msgr Rich Bellow, and Fr Joe Waters. Well done, good and faithful servants! After today the Daily Reflection and the "Mass in Spanish with a Little Bit of English" go on vacation until the First Sunday of Advent. Happy Thanksgiving!
