Responsorial Psalm (Ps 51)
R. A heart contrite and humbled, O God, you will not spurn.
Have mercy on me, O God, in your goodness; in the greatness of your compassion wipe out my offense.
Thoroughly wash me from my guilt and of my sin cleanse me.
R. A heart contrite and humbled, O God, you will not spurn.

Psalm 51 is one of the 7 penitential psalms: 6, 32 (31), 38 (37), 51 (50), 102 (101), 130 (129), and 143 (142). Psalm 51 is prayed every Friday at Morning Prayer. We ask not only for a clean heart, but also for a renewed, contrite spirit.
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.
