Children, it is the last hour. (1 Jn 2:18-21)
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. (Jn 1:1-18)

On this last day of 2022, we are treated to a bit of liturgical humor: in addition to the “last hour,” we are treated to the “last gospel,” as it was once called, since it was read at the end of Low Mass. As we stand on the threshold of a new year in Christ, we give thanks to God that because of Christ, we too can “become children of God.” Today we remember former pope, Benedict XVI (1927-2022). Requiescat in pace.
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.
