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.

SATURDAY, WEEK XVIII, ORDINARY TIME—Saint Dominic, August 8

Then the LORD answered me and said: Write down the vision Clearly upon the tablets, so that one can read it readily. For the vision still has its time, presses on to fulfillment, and will not disappoint; If it delays, wait for it, it will surely come, it will not be late. The rash have no integrity; but the just one, because of faith, shall live. (Hab 2:2-4)

The “minor prophets” are by no means minor in importance. They are called “minor” because their books are so much smaller than the so-called “major” prophets. The prophet Habakkuk has an important message for people who have little patience: WAIT FOR IT! The vision “has its time . . . and will not disappoint.” And as the Lord reminds us, it doesn’t take much faith to move mountains . . . faith the size of a mustard seed is enough (Mt 17:20)! Today is the feast of Saint Dominic founded the Order of Preachers . . . a good reminder of the importance of the Word of God in the life of the church.
