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.

FRIDAY, WEEK XIX, ORDINARY TIME—Saint Maximillian Kolbe, priest & martyr, August 14

FRIDAY, WEEK XIX, ORDINARY TIME—Saint Maximillian Kolbe, priest & martyr, August 14

But I will remember the covenant I made with you when you were young; I will set up an everlasting covenant with you. (Ezekiel 16:60)

That God remembers is the foundation of faith. We trust that even though we forget, God will never forget us.

Saint Maximillian Kolbe gave his life to save the life of another prisoner in the concentration camp of the Nazis.  His sacrifice reminds us that God never forgets an act of kindness.
