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.

XXI ORDINARY SUNDAY

XXI ORDINARY SUNDAY

And so I say to you, you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of the netherworld shall not prevail against it. I will give you the keys to the kingdom of heaven. (Mt 16:18-19)

Saint Peter is the hope for many of us, because if he can make it, perhaps we will to! In the gospels, Peter usually gets things wrong or misunderstands, but every so often he gets it right, as in today’s gospel. Cue the Rocky music!
