Trust in the LORD forever! For the LORD is an eternal Rock. He humbles those in high places, and the lofty city he brings down; He tumbles it to the ground, levels it with the dust. It is trampled underfoot by the needy, by the footsteps of the poor. (Is 26:1-6)

God is not impressed with empires. God is concerned with the most vulnerable and how we treat them. As Jesus says, “I was hungry and you gave me no food, a stranger and you gave me no welcome” (Mt 25:42-43). https://youtu.be/I6vjaimSK4E?si=6iJG8FQqImUXH-3_
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.
