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.

MONDAY, WEEK XXVIII, ORDINARY TIME—Our Lady of the Pillar, October 12

MONDAY, WEEK XXVIII, ORDINARY TIME—Our Lady of the Pillar, October 12

For freedom Christ set us free; so stand firm
and do not submit again to the yoke of slavery.
(Gal 5:1)

The freedom of the children of God . . . freedom from the constraints of the Law of Moses. But as Saint Paul us:

Do not use this freedom as an opportunity for the flesh; rather, serve one another through love (Gal 5:13).

To joyfully use our freedom to serve one another through love, imitating the love of the Virgin Mary. Today is the feast of Our Lady of the Pillar which is very popular in Latin America.
