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.

Thursday, Week XXVII, Ordinary Time, October 12

For lo, the day is coming, blazing like an oven, when all the proud and all evildoers will be stubble, And the day that is coming will set them on fire, leaving them neither root nor branch, says the LORD of hosts. But for you who fear my name, there will arise the sun of justice with its healing rays. (Mal 3:13-20b)

The Sun of Justice with its healing rays . . . wow what a comforting image of God’s kingdom! October 12th was the birthday of my grandfather, Furman Nielsen Torp (1888-1967), and also of my father, Charles Elmer Boyd (1922-1968). May their souls and the souls of all the faithful departed rest in peace!
