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.
FRIDAY, WEEK XXVII, ORDINARY TIME
Realize that it is those who have faith who are children of Abraham . . . Consequently, those who have faith are blessed along with Abraham who had faith. (Gal 3:7-9)
Children of Abraham . . . Jews, Christians, Moslems, we all look to Abraham as “our father in faith.”
Today's picture is of the Kaaba in Mecca. Traditionally, the Kaaba is associated with Abraham.
