Origin of the Choirs of Angels

Last updated on: January 10, 2012 at 10:24 pm By Father Pablo Migone

The prefaces of the new translation of the Roman Missal now mention several choirs of angels which we join in singing God’s praises in the Sanctus. Several people have asked me about the origin of the ‘nine choirs of angels,’ so I will share a paper I wrote on the topic. I have written an abstract which answers the question in a few paragraphs. If you’re still interested and brave, read the paper further below. An anonymous sixth century monk... Read more

Epiphany Homily

Last updated on: January 7, 2012 at 9:04 pm By Father Pablo Migone

The invention of the light bulb has spoiled our experience of light. Even though electricity and light bulbs have allowed us to have light on demand, which is a great thing, they have also made us loose our appreciation for the piercing power of light. Most of us modern human beings have forgotten what it’s like for the sun to go down and to be left in complete darkness, trusting the moon and the starts to provide light from above.... Read more

Epifanía

Last updated on: January 7, 2012 at 10:59 am By Father Pablo Migone

Hoy en esta fiesta de la Epifanía recordamos a los tres reyes magos que llegaron del oriente con obsequios para el Niño Jesús. Los regalos de los reyes con revelan aspectos del niño recién nacido. El oro nos enseña que el niño es un rey, ya que desde tiempos antiguos el oro es considerado metal precioso reservado para los reyes. El incienso, humo perfumado que se ofrece solo a Dios, nos demuestra que Jesús es un niño divino, es Dios... Read more

Epiphany

Last updated on: January 7, 2012 at 10:58 am By Father Pablo Migone

[from the parish bulletin] On this feast of the Epiphany we remember the three men from the east who came bearing gifts to the child Jesus. The gifts reveal to us who this child is: Gold teaches us He is a king, frankincense reveals He is God, and myrrh tells us one day this child will die. As a precious metal, gold has been since ancient times a symbol for royalty. Frankincense, which is incense, is burnt to please God,... Read more

Blessed Francis Xavier Seelos

Last updated on: March 25, 2016 at 5:05 pm By Father Pablo Migone

Today the Church commemorates one of her saints, Saint John Neumann, a member of the Redemptorist Order founded by Saint Alphonsus Ligouri. This morning I visited the shrine of Blessed Francis Xavier Seelos, another Redemptorist priest, who served as the parochial vicar of Saint John Neumann at Saint Philomena Parish in Pittsburgh for six years. Saint John Neumann would eventually be consecrated bishop of Philadelphia in 1852. Blessed Francis Xavier would work at various Redemptorist parishes in the United States... Read more

How did Mary become the Mother of God?

Last updated on: March 25, 2016 at 5:05 pm By Father Pablo Migone

One week after the birth of Our Lord, every January first, we pause to consider one major implication of his birth: The divine motherhood of the Virgin Mary. Today we acclaim her with one of the most ancient titles given to her by Christians: Mother of God, Theotokos or God bearer. We hail the Virgin Mary with such a lofty title in virtue of her role in the plan of salvation which Saint Paul so beautifully summarized: “When the... Read more

Thomas Becket and the King

Last updated on: March 25, 2016 at 5:06 pm By Father Pablo Migone

It is told that on December 29th 1170, King Henry II of England exclaimed in a burst of anger and in the presence of four faithful knights, “Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?” The knights interpreted the King’s words as an order to execute the Archbishop of Canterbury, Thomas Becket, who had been disturbing the King’s peace by insisting on the primacy of the Archbishop of Canterbury and the independence of the church from the king.
