The LORD God therefore banished the man from the garden of Eden and stationed the cherubim and the fiery revolving sword, to guard the way to the tree of life. (Gen 3:9-24)
Jesus summoned the disciples and said, "My heart is moved with pity for the crowd who have nothing to eat. (Mk 8:1-10)

Guarding the way to the tree of life . . . but, now the way to the tree of life has been thrown open for everyone, and Jesus himself gives us the Bread of Life for all to eat and be satisfied. The message of Lourdes is that God is for the sick and the small.
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.
