Return, O Israel, to the LORD, your God. “For in you the orphan finds compassion.” I will heal their defection, says the LORD, I will love them freely; for my wrath is turned away from them. I will be like the dew for Israel: he shall blossom like the lily. (Hos 14:2-10)

The conclusion of the prophecy of Hosea is a promise of God’s salvation, revealed in justice: God has compassion on the orphan.
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.
