Kids say the funniest things

Last updated on: October 28, 2011 at 12:17 pm By Father Pablo Migone

Earlier this week, the third grade teacher invited me to speak about the new bishop and about the Church in general. They must have been talking about the new bishop in class since when I asked who knew the name of the new bishop, one boy raised his hand right away and answered “Gregory John.” The kids had lots of good questions. When it was time for all of us to leave for Mass at 8:45, the kids lined up... Read more

Catholic Priest Statistics: What do they tell us?

Last updated on: March 25, 2016 at 4:28 pm By Father Pablo Migone

We very often hear about the shortage of priests. Some dioceses may have plenty now, but they still have a sense of upcoming uncertainty as priests age and retire. As the number of priests in the United States has dropped from 58,632 in 1965 to 39,466 at present, the number of priests worldwide has dropped relatively little, 419,728 in 1970 to 409,166 at present. This calming worldwide statistic loses its calming effect when we realize that the worldwide Catholic population... Read more

Troubles in Alabama: Immigration Law

Last updated on: October 20, 2011 at 6:39 pm By Father Pablo Migone

I have been keeping up with the news regarding Alabama’s new strict immigration law. I began following it after the two Catholic bishops of Alabama along with Episcopal and Methodist bishops filed a lawsuit to stop the state’s new immigration law in August earlier this year. The religious leaders believed that the enforcement of the new law would violate first amendment rights of church members, violate the right of free assembly and interfere in the ability of the churches to...

New Roman Missal: Penitential Act and Gloria

Last updated on: October 20, 2011 at 1:15 pm By Father Pablo Migone

[part of a homily series at my parish on the new translation of the Roman Missal]Last week Father Fred gave an overview of why we will soon have a new translation of the Mass. Change can be uncomfortable; especially if you grow used to doing things a particular way for forty years as we have as Catholics praying with these prayers during Mass. But change can provide an opportunity to look at things we have been doing for a long... Read more

Roman church vandalized

Last updated on: March 25, 2016 at 4:28 pm By Father Pablo Migone

This morning I heard about riots in Rome and I immediately became curious about where they had happened. I began searching online and found a very sad picture! The Church of Saints Marcellino and Pietro was vandalized by rioters. They tore down the front door into the church as well as the door into the sacristy causing damage and desecrating religious images. The riots centered mostly around the Colosseum and the square in front of the cathedral of Rome, the... Read more

Saint Teresa of Avila (1515-1582) is best known reforming the Carmelite Religious Order in the 16th century by founding the Discalced Carmelites and writing the spiritual masterpiece The Interior Castle.

Great book about the mystery of suffering

Last updated on: October 13, 2011 at 4:04 pm By Father Pablo Migone

I bought the book Making Sense Out of Suffering by American Catholic philosopher Peter Kreeft while on retreat a few weeks ago. I highly recommend it. Kreeft is clear, concise, humble and full of wisdom. Kreeft does not attempt to provide a conclusive explanation for suffering in the world, but rather looks at clues that together point to possibilities. He first explores and debunks ten easy and common answers to the problem of suffering. He then goes on a journey... Read more

Our Lady of Pilar

Last updated on: March 25, 2016 at 4:29 pm By Father Pablo Migone

Today the Feast of Our Lady of Pilar is celebrated throughout Spain, Latin America, the Philippines and other Hispano-influence regions in the world. Patroness of Spain, devotion to Our Lady under this title was spread by the Spanish Church to all its colonies and missions. Devotion to Our Lady of Pilar unites millions of faithful Catholics in recognition of their common heritage of Spanish evangelization. Nuestra Señora del Pilar, or Our Lady of the Pillar, has the distinction of being the first... Read more

Tornado at the Airport

Last updated on: March 25, 2016 at 4:29 pm By Father Pablo Migone

One of the last things you may want to see before your airplane takes off is a tornado a few miles away from the runway. On Monday morning in Rome, minutes before my flight began to board, most passengers were looking out the window of the terminal at a waterspout (a mild tornado over water). Only one formed even though three others began forming from the same dark cloud, but they withered away. Even though waterspouts are not as... Read more
