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.

Thus says the Lord GOD: And suddenly there will come to the temple the LORD whom you seek. And the messenger of the covenant whom you desire. Yes, he is coming, says the LORD of hosts. (Mal 3:1-4, 23-24)

Our waiting is almost over. Tomorrow will be a busy day in every parish, in every home, Sunday AND Christmas Eve. May the Lord find us watching and waiting to receive Him with joy! O Emmanuel, our King and Giver of Law: come to save us, Lord our God!
