“Sow for yourselves justice, reap the fruit of piety; break up for yourselves a new field, for it is time to seek the LORD, till he come and rain down justice upon you.” (Hos 10:1-3, 7-8, 12)
Jesus sent out these Twelve after instructing them thus, “As you go, make this proclamation: ‘The Kingdom of heaven is at hand.’” (Mt 10:1-7)

The message is NOT “Repent, this is the end of the world!” but rather “NOW is the time to seek the Lord so that justice may come upon us.” The message is not “threat”, but rather “salvation”.
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.
