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.

THURSDAY, WEEK VI, EASTER

Paul left Athens and went to Corinth . . . and went to a house
belonging to a man named Titus Justus, a worshiper of God;
his house was next to a synagogue.
Crispus, the synagogue official, came to believe in the Lord
along with his entire household, and many of the Corinthians
who heard believed and were baptized.
(Acts 18:1-8)

Ancient Corinth must have been a wonderful opportunity for Saint Paul. He supposedly stayed there for a year and a half. The Christian community met in homes, meanwhile the state cult enjoyed the Temple of Apollo.
