Jesus said to his disciples: “Be vigilant at all times and pray that you have the strength
to escape the tribulations that are imminent and to stand before the Son of Man.” (Lk 21:34-36)

We reach the end of the liturgical year. Tomorrow is the First Sunday of Advent and the beginning of a new liturgical year in grace. To watch and pray, awaiting our Lord’s return is the challenge of daily Christian life. And while we wait, to keep our hands busy feeding the hungry, welcoming the stranger, visiting the imprisoned, caring for the sick.
Welcome
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.
