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.

Here there is not Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, slave, free; but Christ is all and in all. (Col 3:1-11)

Our unity in Christ is not a fiction, even though we have fostered divisions for almost 2,000 years. Christ breaks down barriers, walls, pride, sin, even death itself so that we can be one and he can be all in all. https://youtu.be/s-LqUJe-BMQ?si=UdLt-RhxzoNxVf_I
