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.

Responsorial Psalm (Psalm 144)

R.    Blessed be the Lord, my Rock!


O God, I will sing a new song to you; 
with a ten stringed lyre I will chant your praise.

R.    Blessed be the Lord, my Rock!

How important are those who compose sacred music and those who play it, and blessed are we who sing God’s praise. The Virgin Mary invites us all to proclaim the greatness of the Lord.
