Alleluia (Mt 24:42, 44)
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
Stay awake! For you do not know when the Son of Man will come.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.

As we come to the last few weeks of Ordinary Time we begin to hear little reminders about the coming of the Lord in glory. “Stay awake” is not so much a warning, but rather an invitation to not miss the glorious coming by being “asleep.” Perhaps we need to be “faithful and prudent” servants busily preparing for that glorious coming.
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.
