Peter asks the $64,000 question: how often must I forgive? Of course it’s an excellent question for those of us who like to measure forgiveness. Thank goodness the Lord isn’t as stingy with us as we are with others!
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.
