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.

THURSDAY, WEEK XXVII, ORDINARY TIME

“And I tell you, ask and you will receive;
seek and you will find;
knock and the door will be opened to you.
For everyone who asks, receives;
and the one who seeks, finds;
and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.”
(Lk 11:9-10)

Ask, seek, knock . . . receive, find, enter. Of course, we want to be as generous to others as God is with us.

The picture today is of the labyrinth in the Cathedral of Chartres, France.
