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.
"Do and observe all things whatsoever they tell you,
but do not follow their example.
For they preach but they do not practice." (Mt 23:3)
In the ordination rite for deacons, the bishop gives the Book of the Gospels to the one ordained and says: "Receive the Gospel of Christ. Believe what you read, teach what you believe, and put into practice what you teach." A good reminder for us all.
