But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we also await a savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. He will change our lowly body to conform with his glorified Body by the power that enables him also to bring all things into subjection to himself. Therefore, stand firm in the Lord, beloved. (Phil 3:17-4:1)

“Our citizenship is in heaven” . . . a wonderful reminder that so-called Christian Nationalism is a lie. Saint Charles Borromeo (1538-1584) was a church reformer who proved his worth following the Council of Trent (1562-1563). Saint Charles was responsible for the creation of seminaries to train priests and for the founding of the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine to teach the faith to children and the laity. Today's picture is of the Cathedral of Milan where Saint Charles was archbishop.
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.
