We continue the Hymn of the Three Youths in the Fiery Furnace. The hymn calls on all creation to “bless the Lord.” The question always comes, How do mountains and hills bless the Lord? The answer of course is by existing. If creation and everything in it blesses the Lord . . . then perhaps we can too!
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.
