Then Jesus said to the crowd, "Take care to guard against all greed, for though one may be rich, one's life does not consist of possessions." (Lk 12:13-21)

Money might make the world go around, as Liza Minelli and Joel Grey sing in the old musical, Cabaret, but it doesn’t necessarily bring happiness. The question will not be where we invested our money . . . but where have we spent our lives. “The only measure of your words and your deeds will be the love you leave behind when you’re done” (Rev. Fred Small, Everything Possible-Todo Lo Posible, 1983). https://youtu.be/2tJ7kvJvqAM?si=EEv1VDM0Cezbc7OX
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.
