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.

Responsorial Psalm (Psalm 119)
R. How sweet to my taste is your promise!
How sweet to my palate are your promises, sweeter than honey to my mouth!
R. How sweet to my taste is your promise!

Saint Cecilia, for the manner of her martyrdom, is the patron saint of musicians and singers. May God’s sweet praises pour forth always from our hearts. For those of a certain generation we remember today the assassination of President John F. Kennedy and the hope of Camelot.
