Jesus heals our leprosy

Last updated on: February 12, 2012 at 11:19 am By Father Pablo Migone

Leprosy is a terrible disease. Though today confined to certain areas of the world and somewhat treatable, having leprosy in the ancient world was one of the most terrible curses. The disease itself does not kill you, but it lingers for years causing skin to degenerate and the body to deform. Lepers are cursed with twisted limbs, curling fingers, tumors and facial disfigurement. Nerve damage causes terrible pain, but also numbs parts of the body which leads to accidents, burns...

Nuestra Señora de Lourdes

Last updated on: March 25, 2016 at 8:19 pm By Father Pablo Migone

Cuando tenía cinco o seis años recuerdo preguntarle a mi mama que debería hacer si la Virgen María se me apareciera. Mi mama respondió que me arrodille pero también dijo que no piense en esas cosas porque más que seguro, no iba a pasar. Me quede satisfecho con su respuesta, al menos ya sabía que hacer si sucedía. Bernadette Soubirous era una niña pobre e analfabeta en el pequeño pueblo de Lourdes, Francia en 1858 cuando la Virgen María se... Read more

HHS Mandate and the Decian persecution

Last updated on: March 25, 2016 at 8:20 pm By Father Pablo Migone

This morning I read EWTN sued the federal government. Click here for article. The US Bishops are decrying the overstepping of the government into our freedom of religion. Members of the House of Representatives are debating the need to strike down or amend the HHS mandate. With all this happening, someone asked me, “historically, what can we compare this?” I thought about it for a few minutes, and I found an answer. In the year 250 the Roman emperor Decius,...

El Perdon y el Sacramento de la Reconciliacion

Last updated on: February 8, 2012 at 3:04 pm By Father Pablo Migone

La misión de Jesús en la tierra se puede resumir diciendo que Jesús vino a enseñar, a curar enfermos y a perdonar pecadores. Fácilmente reconocemos que Jesús es el maestro más grande que ha vivido, pues nos reveló a su Padre, nos enseñó quien es Dios. También rápidamente recordamos historias Bíblicas donde Jesús curó enfermos como los diez leprosos, el siego desde nacimiento y varios paralíticos. Cuando hablamos del tercer elemento de la misión de Jesús, el perdonar pecadores, siempre... Read more

Dios sana corazones quebrantados

Last updated on: February 5, 2012 at 4:55 pm By Father Pablo Migone

Cuando las dificultades y cruces de la vida se hacen insoportables, muchos se alejan de Dios. Consciente o inconscientemente, culpan a Dios por su desgracia, o culpan su inacción al remediar la situación. Luego de la muerte de un ser querido, la pareja u otros parientes dejan de asistir a Misa. Luego de que una oración no es respondida por Dios, o una sanación esperada nunca llega, algunos rechazan la oración como palabras en vano. Cuando algunos no pueden casarse... Read more

The Lord heals the brokenhearted

Last updated on: February 5, 2012 at 4:21 pm By Father Pablo Migone

When the trials and crosses of life become overwhelming, many turn away from God. Consciously or unconsciously, they blame God for their misfortune, or blame His inaction to remedy it. After the death of a loved one, spouses and other family members may stop going to Mass. After experiencing an unanswered prayer or not receiving a desired healing, some dismiss prayer as wishful thinking. Due to the inability to marry in the Church, some distance themselves completely from God. The... Read more

Candlemass

Last updated on: March 25, 2016 at 5:07 pm By Father Pablo Migone

Tonight at my parish we celebrated Candlemass in Spanish. In Mexico, it is traditional to bring a baby Jesus statue dressed in baby clothes to be presented at the church and be blessed, calling to mind how Mary and Joseph took Jesus to be presented at the Temple forty days after his birth. Also, it is traditional in Mexico that the person who got the baby in the King Cake on Epiphany provides the tamales for today’s celebration. The turnout was... Read more

A funeral eight years ago

Last updated on: March 25, 2016 at 5:07 pm By Father Pablo Migone

The bishop’s miter gently swayed from left to right in front of me as he intoned the Salve Regina. The unexpected yet familiar tune and the tightening of my mother’s grip on my arm awakened me… mater misericordiae. The procession progressed slowly down the path as the hope for a better tomorrow was condemned and as the joy of life was lost. After emerging from a slumber of unbelief, my eyes were opened to the reality of death by... Read more

Sacramento de la Confirmacion

Last updated on: January 31, 2012 at 12:11 pm By Father Pablo Migone

A través del sacramento de la Confirmación, recibimos la plenitud de la gracia recibida en el sacramento del bautismo. Este sacramento nos une más íntimamente a la Iglesia y nos enriquece con una fortaleza especial del Espíritu Santo. Al recibir este sacramento, uno se compromete mucho más, como autentico testigo de Cristo, a extender y defender la fe a través de obras y palabras. Leemos en el libro de los Hechos de los Apóstoles 1, 3-5 que Jesús promete a... Read more
