Make justice your aim: redress the wronged, hear the orphan's plea, defend the widow. (Is 1:10, 16-20)

When we hear the words “Sodom and Gomorrah,” we don’t normally think of social justice. But according to the Prophet Isaiah the sins of Sodom and Gomorrah are exactly about justice, and the prophet gives the remedy: redressing the wronged, hearing the orphan’s cry and defending widows. Perhaps preachers need to pay attention. Today's picture is from the 1922 silent film, Sodom and Gomorrah.
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.
