Beloved: Who indeed is the victor over the world but the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God? God gave us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever possesses the Son has life. (1 Jn 5:5-13)

Traditionally, today is the date of Epiphany which this year is transferred to Sunday, January 7, in those countries that do not keep Epiphany as a holy day of obligation. So with the Virgin Mary we continue to treasure all these things reflecting on them in our heart.
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.
Saturday of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Christmas Season, January 6
