Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of his disciples that are not written in this book. But these are written that you may come to believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that through this belief you may have life in his name. (Jn 20:19-31)

“Jesus did many other signs . . . but these are written so that you may come to believe” and “may have life in his name.” Here we come to what is the first conclusion of the Fourth Gospel. But then later, after the deaths of Peter and the Beloved Disciple, the gospel writer decided to add a further chapter, Chapter 21, to answer concerns about the respective roles of these two important disciples in life and spirituality of the early church. We pray that Ukraine may have life.
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.
