TUESDAY, WEEK XXVII, ORDINARY TIME

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.

And I was unknown personally to the churches of Judea
that are in Christ;
they only kept hearing that “the one who once was persecuting us
is now preaching the faith he once tried to destroy.”
So they glorified God because of me.
(Gal 1:22-24)

Jesus entered a village
where a woman whose name was Martha welcomed him.
She had a sister named Mary
who sat beside the Lord at his feet listening to him speak.
(Lk 10:38-39)

Wonderful readings today: Paul speaking about his story and the revelation he received, and then the story of the Lord’s visit with the two sisters, Martha & Mary. When the Lord comes into our lives, everything changes!
