Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth. The former heaven and the former earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. I also saw the holy city, a new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. (Rev 29:1-4, 11-21:2)

A new heaven, a new earth, a new city, a new us! We come to the conclusion of our reading of the Book of Revelation with the vision of all things being renewed in Christ. We also come to the conclusion of the liturgical year preparing ourselves for the Coming of the Lord.
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.
