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.

TUESDAY, WEEK XIX, ORDINARY TIME—Saint Clare of Assisi, August 11

TUESDAY, WEEK XIX, ORDINARY TIME—Saint Clare of Assisi, August 11

The disciples approached Jesus and said, “Who is the greatest in the Kingdom of heaven?” He called a child over, placed it in their midst, and said, “Amen, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will not enter the Kingdom of heaven. Whoever becomes humble like this child is the greatest in the Kingdom of heaven. (Mt 18 1-4)

What is greatness? Is it power, success, money, possessions? Clare of Assisi heard Francis preaching about the Poor Christ and left everything to follow the humble way of poverty.
