For Wisdom is the refulgence of eternal light, the spotless mirror of the power of God, the image of his goodness. (Wis 7:22b-8:1)

The Hymn to Wisdom finds echoes in the Hymn to Christ in the Letter to the Colossians: “He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation” (Col1:15-20). Of course, early Christians would make those connections as they searched the Scriptures to find references to Christ.
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.
