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.

Saint Stanislaus, bishop & martyr, April 11

Responsorial Psalm (Psalm 34)
R. The Lord hears the cry of the poor.
I will bless the LORD at all times; his praise shall be ever in my mouth.
Taste and see how good the LORD is; blessed the man who takes refuge in him.
R. The Lord hears the cry of the poor.

Taste and see . . . an interesting description of God’s goodness which points us to the Eucharist. Saint Stanislaus (1030-1079), the first native Polish saint, gave his life for Christ. HIs story is very similar to that of Saint Thomas Becket (1120-1170).
