Woe to the shepherds who mislead and scatter the flock of my pasture, says the LORD. (Jer 23:1-6)

People sometimes lose their way. The world is a mess and people seek simple answers, and of course, they seek someone who will deliver them from the chaos. Unfortunately, there are those who gladly lead others astray. They are really wolves in sheep’s clothing. God’s words to the shepherds who mislead and scatter the flock should be posted not in school classrooms but rather in the halls of power and especially in the halls of political conventions. https://youtu.be/J3k2b5hDK0c?si=1fZQwOpxSN2B9JSq
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.
