For this reason, when Christ came into the world, he said: “Behold, I come to do your will, O God.” (Heb 10:4-10)

The consecration of ourselves, the Church and all humanity, especially Russia and Ukraine, to God through the prayers of the Immaculate Heart of the Virgin Mary reminds us that we follow in the footsteps of Jesus Christ, who came to bring peace by his Cross. As Pope Francis says in his prayer, Mary’s Yes to God “opened the doors of history to the Prince of Peace.” Through the prayers of the Immaculate Heart of the Mother of God, we consecrate to the Lord “the future of the whole human family, the needs and expectations of every people, the anxieties and hopes of the world.” May God lead us now on the paths of peace. Amen.
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.
