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.

He was in the world, and the world came to be through him, but the world did not know him. He came to what was his own, but his own people did not accept him. But to those who did accept him he gave power to become children of God. (Jn 1:1-18)

He comes as one of the forgotten of this world, overlooked, abandoned, thrown away. But he is the true light that shines in the darkness and reveals the Love that never ends. May your Christmas be filled with the joy of his presence! https://youtu.be/w5_w2XpG7DI?si=IjTRHfYM9zq6fzFI
