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.

Monday, Week I, Advent

They shall beat their swords into plowshares
 and their spears into pruning hooks;
 One nation shall not raise the sword against another,
 nor shall they train for war again.
O house of Jacob, come,
 let us walk in the light of the LORD!
(Is 2:1-5)

Advent not only asks God to come, it asks us to come as well and to train for war no more. Today’s picture is Let Us Beat Swords into Plowshares, a sculpture by Evgeniy Vuchetich in the United Nations Art Collection.
