I myself will pasture my sheep; I myself will give them rest, says the Lord GOD. The lost I will seek out, the strayed I will bring back, the injured I will bind up, the sick I will heal . . . shepherding them rightly. (Ez 34:11-16)

Devotion to the Heart of Christ invites us to contemplate the humanity of the Good Shepherd and so enter into the very heart of God. And so the church teaches us to pray: O Sacred Heart of Jesus, make our hearts like unto yours.
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.
