And suddenly there will come to the temple the LORD whom you seek, And the messenger of the covenant whom you desire. Yes, he is coming, says the LORD of hosts. But who will endure the day of his coming? And who can stand when he appears? (Mal 3:1-4, 23-24)

O Emmanuel, our king and lawgiver, the desire of all nations and their salvation; come and save us, O Lord our God. https://youtu.be/01BcaggibDw?si=40-Lp1gHO1pRkpq3
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.
