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.

WEDNESDAY, WEEK III, ADVENT

At that time,
John summoned two of his disciples and sent them to the Lord to ask,
“Are you the one who is to come, or should we look for another?” 
When the men came to the Lord, they said,
“John the Baptist has sent us to you to ask,
‘Are you the one who is to come, or should we look for another?’”
(Lk 7:18-20)

Are you the one who is to come, or should we look for another?” is the central question of faith. Of course, the two disciples of John the Baptist received an answer, and we have too, for the One we await proclaims good news to the poor. When we care for the poor, we care for Him, and then we are blessed indeed. Today’s photo is Christ of the Breadlines (1951) by Fritz Eichenberg.
