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.

Saint Francis of Assisi, October 4

Saint Francis of Assisi, October 4

Jesus asked: “Which of these three, in your opinion,
was neighbor to the robbers’ victim?”
He answered, “The one who treated him with mercy.”
Jesus said to him, “Go and do likewise.” (Lk 10:25-37)

The parable of the Good Samaritan fits so beautifully with the feast of Saint Francis of Assisi. Francis treats everyone with compassion . . . even animals and creation itself.
