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.

Saints Philip & James, apostles, May 4 (Latin America)

For I handed on to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures; that he was buried; that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures; that he appeared to Cephas, then to the Twelve. After that, he appeared to more than five hundred brothers and sisters at once, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep. After that he appeared to James, then to all the Apostles. (1 Cor 15:1-8)
“Philip, whoever has seen me has seen the Father.” (Jn 14:6-14)

The testimony of the apostles and other witnesses is the foundation of our faith. As the psalm tells us: Their message goes out through all the earth. (Psalm 19).
