I rejoiced greatly to find some of your children walking in the truth just as we were commanded by the Father. But now, Lady, I ask you, not as though I were writing a new commandment but the one we have had from the beginning: let us love one another. (2 Jn 4-9)

Today we have another very short letter, the Second Letter of John. It is interesting that the writer has to remark that it’s not a new commandment, but the one we have had from the beginning: let us love on another. It’s always a good reminder because it is the one commandment that we almost always fail to keep.
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.
