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.

Tuesday, Week 1, Ordinary Time

He who consecrates and those who are being consecrated all have one origin. Therefore, he is not ashamed to call them “brothers” saying: I will proclaim your name to my brethren, in the midst of the assembly I will praise you. (Heb 2:5-12)

The Daily Reflection, the Orchid Ministry, and the Sunday Mass in Spanish with a Little Bit of English on Facebook will be on vacation beginning today. The Padre will be traveling to Asheville, North Carolina, to celebrate the Funeral Mass of Myrna Rodríguez, sister of Meira Riesco. God willing, the Reflection, the Orchids, and Sunday Mass on Facebook will return on Sunday, February 9. As the Scriptures say, “in the midst of the assembly I will praise you.” Thank you for your prayers; I carry all of you in mine.
