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.

Queen Esther, seized with mortal anguish,
had recourse to the LORD.
(Est C:12,14-16,23-25)

The story of Queen Esther is one of those fabulous Bible stories which captures the imagination. When faced with mortal anguish, Esther knows exactly what to do . . . she has recourse to the Lord . . . she prays, and the Lord triumphs! Today's picture is the painting of Queen Esther (1878) by Edwin Long.
