Thus was innocent blood spared that day. (Dn 13:1-9, 15-17, 19-30, 33-62)
Then Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you. (Jn 8:1-11)

The long story of Susanna and the Elders ends with the statement that innocent blood was spared that day. Well, the gospel tells a quite different story where the guilty walks free. Perhaps Jesus is just too soft on crime.
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.
