Personal Vision-Mission

I resolve to be a compassionate & committed religious priest

 who proclaims the Good News to all especially the poor

      & denounces all forms of evil: injustice, oppression,  

                 exploitation, violence & the culture of death.

I will strive to be a man of prayer & contemplation, leading

    the  Christian community in worship and celebration of

    the  sacraments of God’s liberating presence and action.

I  will continually make an option for the poor, dedicating my

    life in the struggle for justice, peace, and the integrity of

      creation. 

I will promote the growth of Basic Ecclesial Communities as a

   new way of being Church and a means of transforming society.

I intend to be a grassroots theologian -- articulating a theology

   that is contextual and inculturated, narrative and poetic.
