Tomb of Saint Albert the Great

Last updated on: March 25, 2016 at 5:01 pm   By Father Pablo Migone

Saint Albert, bishop and doctor of the Church, died in the German city of Cologne on the year 1280.  A faithful Dominican friar, he was one of the greatest minds of his times.  As a natural philosopher and theologian, he was not afraid to explore the relationship between science and religion.  He revolutionized contemporary theology with his knowledge of Aristotle and passed this on to his most famous pupil, Saint Thomas Aquinas. His tomb below is at the Dominican church in Cologne,... Read more

11-11-11

Last updated on: November 11, 2011 at 11:11 am   By Father Pablo Migone

I just had to post today at 11:11am. So many people panic or speculate all sorts of things will happen when a particular date arrives.  What we must remember is that our measuring of time is a human development.  Nature could care less that today is 11-11-11 because these numbers correspond to our human manner of keeping track of time.  We don’t “create” time, we simply attempt to keep track of it in an intelligible manner.  The natural world creates a cycle... Read more

Memories

Last updated on: November 10, 2011 at 2:17 pm   By Father Pablo Migone

A few weeks ago a parishioner asked me to lead a prayer at the presentation of her third published book.  I was unaware she had published books before, I gladly agreed to lead the prayer.  I led the brief prayer earlier this week at a simple ceremony held at a local bookstore where representatives from the Chamber of Commerce and the mayor were present. That morning I learned that her first book were her memoirs, the second a collection of poems and the third... Read more

New Roman Missal: The Preface and the Sanctus

Last updated on: November 7, 2011 at 11:51 am   By Father Pablo Migone

I will speak about two specific parts of the Mass today: the Preface and the Holy Holy or Sanctus. In the early apostolic church, the priest would offer bread and wine and follow it with a prayer of thanksgiving.  This spontaneous prayer gave thanks to God primarily for our salvation oftentimes mentioning specific events of salvation history, feasts that were being celebrated or martyrs that were been remembered.  This prayer then led into the consecrating of the bread and wine.... Read more

Oil for the Heavenly Banquet

Last updated on: November 6, 2011 at 11:23 am   By Father Pablo Migone

[from my parish bulletin] Many have posed the following question regarding today’s parable, “why did the five wise virgins not share their oil with the foolish ones who ran out?  Perhaps all ten could have entered the banquet hall if they had shared.” The fact is that certain things, even if they are very good and we would love to give them to others, we cannot give.  Our personal faith in Christ is one of these things we cannot automatically... Read more

Feast of All Souls

Last updated on: March 25, 2016 at 5:01 pm   By Father Pablo Migone

I have always found visits to cemeteries thought-provoking and paradoxically life-giving.  To visit a cemetery is to remember death, and by remembering death we can live our lives more fully.  The thoughts of Ivan Illych in the famous work by Leo Tolstoy The Death of Ivan Illych come to mind.  When Ivan was faced with certain death, he asked himself why he had to wait until almost dying to begin living.  By recognizing his impending death, he shed superficiality, established priorities and began to truly... Read more

O blest communion, fellowship divine!

Last updated on: November 1, 2025 at 9:32 am   By Father Pablo Migone

Oftentimes when I hear the Scripture reading for today’s Feast of All Saints from the Book of Revelation, the painting by Jan van Eyck of the Adoration of the Mystic Lamb comes to mind. “I, John, saw another angel come up from the East, holding the seal of the living God. He cried out in a loud voice to the four angels who were given power to damage the land and the sea… I heard the number of those who... Read more

The Gospel Lifts the Burden

Last updated on: November 2, 2023 at 2:28 pm   By Father Pablo Migone

From the Gospel of Saint Matthew Jesus spoke to the crowds and to his disciples, saying, “The scribes and the Pharisees have taken their seat on the chair of Moses. Therefore, do and observe all things whatsoever they tell you, but do not follow their example. For they preach but they do not practice. They tie up heavy burdens hard to carry and lay them on people’s shoulders, but they will not lift a finger to move them. All their... Read more
