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.

SATURDAY, WEEK XXXIV, ORDINARY TIME

R. Marana tha! Come, Lord Jesus!
Come, let us bow down in worship;
let us kneel before the LORD who made us.
For he is our God,
and we are the people he shepherds, the flock he guides.
R. Marana tha! Come, Lord Jesus!
(Ps 95 & Rev 20:20)

Be vigilant at all times
and pray that you have the strength
and to stand before the Son of Man.
(Lk 21:36)

Come, Lord Jesus, come do not delay!
