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.
Beloved, let us love one another,
because love is of God.
(1 Jn 4:7-10)
Mother’s Day is the perfect time to remember and say ‘thank you’ for the wonderful gift of our mothers (and all the mother-bears we’ve had in our lives). Our mothers teach us this basic truth of our faith: to love one another. A mother’s love, like God’s love, is a fierce love—a sacrificial love.
