Now the Passover of the Jews was near, and many went up from the country to Jerusalem before Passover to purify themselves. They looked for Jesus and said to one another as they were in the temple area, "What do you think? That he will not come to the feast?" (Jn 11:45-56)

Of course Jesus will go up to Jerusalem to accomplish the work of our salvation. This Saturday before Palm Sunday we remember the Virgin Mary, la Madre Dolorosa, who faithfully followed her Son on his sorrowful journey and stood beneath his Cross.
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.
