No one pours new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the wine will burst the skins, and both the wine and the skins are ruined. Rather, new wine is poured into fresh wineskins. (Mk 2:18-22)

In the Apostles Creed we profess: “I believe in God, the Father almighty, Creator of heaven and earth.” The work of creation continues. This is what happens in our baptism, God makes us a new creation in Christ, filled with the new wine of God’s grace. https://youtu.be/MNw8furU7Hs?si=VXrlow-1mxLa1Az6
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.
