Turning to the disciples in private he said, “Blessed are the eyes that see what you see. For I say to you, many prophets and kings desired to see what you see, but did not see it, and to hear what you hear, but did not hear it.” (Lk 10:21-24)

Today’s readings are filled with longing and deep desire for the peaceable kingdom where there will be no harm or ruin rather “justice shall flourish in his time, and fullness of peace for ever.” Advent faces that longing and quietly proclaims that the Lord’s coming satisfies the deepest hungers of the human family.
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.
