He who shuts his ear to the cry of the poor will himself also call and not be heard. (Prv 21:1-6, 10-13)

The Book of Proverbs contains a wealth of practical spirituality. Many of Pope Francis teachings sound like they come right from Proverbs: "You pray for the hungry. Then you feed them. That's how prayer works." - Pope Francis. Today's photo is of some of my favorite Sisters of Mercy.
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.
