Today would have been my Colombian Madrecita’s 93rd birthday, Ofelia Arroyave (1931-2016). She once said to me, “Padre, you’re my oldest child.” I am very proud that she counted me among her 10 children. Now she has 11! May she dance with the angels! The Daily Reflection, the Orchid Ministry and the Mass in Spanish with a Little Bit of English (on Facebook) will be on vacation until Sunday, February 4th. You will all be in my Masses and Prayers.
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.
