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.

God so loved the world that he gave his only-begotten Son, so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him. (Jn 3:16-21)

To love the world and every one in it as God does is the work of salvation to which Christ calls us. We accomplish it one act of kindness at a time. We pray for the guidance of the Holy Spirit as we choose a new pope. https://youtu.be/_14CpHBRd3k?si=tnKZ-vGccDJQe7PH
