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.

THE SOLEMNITY OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, KING OF THE UNIVERSE

And the king will say to them in reply,
'Amen, I say to you, whatever you did
for one of the least brothers of mine, you did for me.’ (Mt 25:40)

On this feast of Christ the King, it is always good to remember what Dorothy Day, the Venerable Servant of God, said about the poor: “The mystery of the poor is that they are Jesus, and what you do for them you do to Him.”
