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.

FIRST SUNDAY OF ADVENT

Yet, O LORD, you are our father;
we are the clay and you the potter:
we are all the work of your hands.
(Is 64:7)

As we begin this holy season of joyful preparation for the coming (the advent) of the Lord in glory, the great prophet of Advent, Isaiah, reminds us whose we are . . . "we are the clay and you are the potter: we are all the work of your hands."  The link below is for the 2020 Advent Calendar from the US Catholic Conference. The calendar provides some wonderful ideas for each day of the season.
