Alleluia (Lk 1:76)
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
You, child, will be called prophet of the Most High,
for you will go before the Lord to prepare his way.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.

The birth of a child invites us all to reflect on what this child will become. The birth of John the Baptist is no different. To prepare the way of the Lord is a good description of the portrayal of the ministry of John the Baptist in the Scriptures. To prepare the way of the Lord is a good description of the work we are called to and of the work of disciples in every age.
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.
