I consider that the sufferings of this present time are as nothing compared with the glory to be revealed for us. For creation awaits with eager expectation the revelation of the children of God. (Rom 8:18-25)

The revelation of the children of God . . . the “present time” with all its problems can make us despair that things could ever get better or be different. Saint Paul sees the sufferings as evidence of the LONGING and the EAGER EXPECTATION for what God has in store. I think this old world is going to be surprised at that revelation and also at the glory.
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.
