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.

Thursday, Week I, Advent

Alleluia (Is 55:6)
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
 Seek the LORD while he may be found; 
call him while he is near.
 R. Alleluia, alleluia.   https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/120221.cfm

God’s nearness . . . a beautiful expression of Advent longing from the prophet Isaiah. For all seekers of God, Advent is THE time to open the ears of our hearts to listen to the prophets. Some folks use an Advent Calendar to celebrate the season . . . and yes, there's an app for that!   IOS: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/advent-app/id756869205   ANDROID: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jacquielawson.advent.london2021&hl=es_CO&gl=US
