Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth. The former heaven and the former earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. I also saw the holy city, a new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. (Rev 20:1-4, 11-21:2)

A new heaven, a new earth, a new Jerusalem . . . and a brand-new us! What a vision—that God wants us to live NOW! Today is also Black Friday and the beginning of the Christmas shopping season.
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.
