As a result of this, many of his disciples returned to their former way of life and no longer walked with him. Jesus then said to the Twelve, “Do you also want to leave?” Simon Peter answered him, “Master, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. We have come to believe and are convinced that you are the Holy One of God.” (Jn 6:60-69)

Following the Lord at times can be a challenge. Saint Catherine (1347-1380) lived in a very troubled time for the church and faced incredible challenges, but she never gave up. She had faith in her mystical Bridegroom. Like Saint Peter before her, Saint Catherine could answer the Lord, “Master, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal 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.
