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.

CHRISTMAS DAY, December 25

Today is born our Savior, Christ the Lord.

He came to what was his own, 
but his own people did not accept him.
But to those who did accept him 
he gave power to become children of God.
(John 1:11-12)

Beloved, let us give thanks to God the Father, through his Son, in the Holy Spirit, because in his great love for us he took pity on us, and when we were dead in our sins he brought us to life with Christ, so that in him we might be a new creation. Christian, remember your dignity, and now that you share in God’s own nature, do not return by sin to your former base condition. Bear in mind who is your head and of whose body you are a member. Do not forget that you have been rescued from the power of darkness and brought into the light of God’s kingdom. Through the sacrament of baptism you have become a temple of the Holy Spirit.
(A Christmas Homily of Saint Leo the Great)

Today’s Christmas Carol is one of the most joyful: Los Peces en el Río.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!
