God gave us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever possesses the Son has life; whoever does not possess the Son of God does not have life. (1 Jn 5:5-13)

To have life means we do not follow the way of death. We follow the way of Christ who gives us abundant life. I’m so grateful for all your birthday wishes. Today’s photo is from the birthday fiesta my Colombian family gave me last night. https://youtu.be/GwNs4Vy4H4o?si=nBwrixWOSJPyWMxQ
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.
