He went down with them and came to Nazareth, and was obedient to them;
and his mother kept all these things in her heart.
And Jesus advanced in wisdom and age and favor before God and man. (Lk 2:41-52)

The feast of the Holy Family reminds us that even though our families may not be perfect like the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph—our families are holy. In our families we first find God’s love. Today we have another wonderful Christmas carol from Colombia, thanks to the Pre-kindergarten kids: Mi Burrito Sabanero (My Burrito).
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.
