No ear has ever heard, no eye ever seen, any God but you doing such deeds for those who wait for him. (Is 63:16-17, 19;64:2-7)

Advent is a time of joyful waiting. We wait in hope for the Coming of the Lord and the fulfillment of the promise: a new heaven, and a new earth, and a brand new us. We long for the Advent graces: Hope, Peace, Joy and Love. Come, Lord Jesus, come, do not delay!
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.
