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.

Thursday II, Advent

I am the LORD, your God, who grasp your right hand; It is I who say to you, “Fear not, I will help you.” (Is 41:13-20)

Over and over again in the gospels, Jesus has to tell the disciples, “Don’t be afraid.” And for good reason. The encounter with God is truly awesome. Today’s photo is of a Christogram in Greek that means, “Jesus Christ conquers.” https://youtu.be/IJ0jOjqISPU?si=s-BRU0Sg2M0_PuYn
