Are not two sparrows sold for a small coin? Yet not one of them falls to the ground without your Father’s knowledge. Even all the hairs of your head are counted. So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows. (Mt 10:24-33)

Sometimes the Lord has to remind us that each one of us is of infinite value, infinite worth. The Virgin Mary invites us all to sing her hymn of praise for God who raises up the lowly. https://youtu.be/8VmUASVDQgU?si=tT6tVN6z7eg5SDHY
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.
