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.
THE IMMACULATE HEART OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY
He went down with them and came to Nazareth, and was obedient to them; and his mother kept all these things in her heart. (Lk 2:51)
The scriptural references to the Heart of Mary . . . remind us of the love of Mother and Son . . . two hearts that beat as one.
