If anyone says, “I love God,” but hates his brother, he is a liar; for whoever does not love a brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen. (1 Jn 4:19-5:4)

The lessons we need to learn about love are endless. Perhaps that’s why the Letters of John seem to repeat themselves. The truth is we need to revisit these lessons over and over again. As the Lord says to us, “Love one another, as I have loved you.” Saint André (1845-1937), a Canadian religious brother, was a healer and is responsible for the construction of the largest church in Canada, Saint Joseph’s Oratory in Montreal. Today’s carol is La Cumbia del Niño (Cumbia of Baby Jesus).
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.
