I yearn to see you again, recalling your tears, so that I may be filled with joy, as I recall your sincere faith that first lived in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice and that I am confident lives also in you. (2 Tim 1:1-8)

As the faith of Timothy’s grandmother and mother is recalled, I remember the faith of my own grandmother and mother. They were my first and best teachers in the faith. Thanks to their teaching and example, I am celebrating 48 years as a priest. https://youtu.be/WLdPoQnylnA?si=zmN_XMKtNZJOe2Wk
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.
