Mary said, "Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord. May it be done to me according to your word." Then the angel departed from her. (Lk 1:26-38)

My spiritual director, Fr Joe McCloskey, used to say about the Incarnation, that the whole universe held its breath to hear the response of Mary to the Angel. May we also say YES to God so that Christ can be born in us. O Key of David, opening the gates of God’s eternal Kingdom: come and free the prisoners of darkness!
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.
