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.

ASH THURSDAY

If anyone wishes to come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.  (Lk 9:23)

 

A good reminder for this second day of Lent. This journey with Christ to the Easter that never ends is an invitation that comes to us each day. And even if we fall on our face, the next day the Lord picks us up, takes us by the hand, so that we can continue the journey.
