At the name of Jesus every knee should bend, of those in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. (Phil 2:1-11)

We continue celebrating the Word Made Flesh in the feast of the Most Holy Name of Jesus. As the Gospel of Luke records: “When eight days were completed for his circumcision,
the child was named Jesus, the name given him by the angel before he was conceived in the womb.” Today’s Carol is Dulce Jesús Mío (My Sweet Jesus).
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.
