Welcome

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.

Feast of the Transfiguration of the Lord, August 6

Feast of the Transfiguration of the Lord, August 6

Then a cloud came, casting a shadow over them; 
from the cloud came a voice, 
“This is my beloved Son. Listen to him.”
Suddenly, looking around, they no longer saw anyone
but Jesus alone with them. (Mk 9:2-10)

To catch a glimpse of Jesus revealed in glory . . . the experience overwhelmed Peter, James and John. When we catch glimpses of God’s presence shining through ordinary experiences—revealed in our humanity, well, that’s what Transfiguration is all about. That’s when we really need to listen!
