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.
WEDNESDAY, WEEK I of LENT
Even now, says the LORD, return to me with your whole heart for I am gracious and merciful. (Jl 2:12-13)
“Even now” means there’s still time no matter how late we might think it is, there’s still time for all of us. I know I’m from the South, but gracious and merciful . . . wins my heart every time.
