Eucharistic Revival Coming to USA

Last updated on: May 12, 2022 at 11:29 am By Father Pablo Migone

In August 2019, a Pew Research Center study showed that only one-third of U.S. Catholics agree with the Church that the Eucharist is the Body and Blood of Christ. Sixty-nine percent stated it is symbolic. In addition to this, it was also reported that 60% of observant Catholics who attend Mass weekly accept the Church’s teaching on transubstantiation – meaning, that bread and wine become the Body and Blood of Christ. Since concerns were raised in regards to how the... Read more

Jesus calls us Sheep

Last updated on: May 10, 2022 at 12:00 pm By Father Pablo Migone

Sometimes we use the name of an animal to describe a person’s personality, or one of their actions – for example: “he ate like a horse” or “she is a snake” or “don’t be a chicken, go for it!” or “what a pig.” We immediately know what these animal descriptions mean. In today’s Gospel passage from Saint John, Jesus refers to us his disciples as His sheep who faithfully hear his voice. Now, in normal, every-day language, nobody really wants... Read more

De las Tinieblas a la Luz, Muerte a la Resurrección

Last updated on: April 21, 2022 at 3:47 pm By Father Pablo Migone

El 27 de marzo de 2020, el Papa Francisco ascendió lentamente y solitario la larga rampa de piedra que comunica la Plaza San Pedro con las majestuosas puertas de entrada a la Basílica Vaticana. Usualmente llena de miles de peregrinos cuando el Santo Padre está presente, esta noche atípica encontró a la Plaza San Pedro con solo un puñado de curiosos bajo paraguas mientras lluvia caía y empapaba no solo al Papa, sino también al histórico crucifijo de la Iglesia...

From Darkness to Light, Death to Resurrection

Last updated on: April 19, 2022 at 10:52 am By Father Pablo Migone

On March 27th, 2020, Pope Francis ascended slowly and alone the long stone ramp that leads from Saint Peter Square to the majestic front doors of the Vatican Basilica. Usually filled with thousands of pilgrims whenever the Pope is present, this atypical night found Saint Peter Square with only a handful of curious bystanders under umbrellas as rain fell and soaked not only the Holy Father, but also the historic crucifix from the Church of Saint Marcellus which was carried...

Monsignor Tom Powers named Rector of U.S. Seminary in Rome

Last updated on: March 30, 2022 at 10:11 am By Father Pablo Migone

Father Tom Powers worked in Rome at one of the Congregations while I attended the Pontifical North American College in the 2010s. Today, he was named the 24th rector of my Alma Mater. Rome initially did not select one of the candidates presented by the Board of Governors of the College, and asked for the opinion of Cardinals and Archbishops of the United States. The process has now concluded with the selection of Monsignor Thomas Powers. The Seminary issued the... Read more

El Don de un Alimento Celestial

Last updated on: March 28, 2022 at 11:09 am By Father Pablo Migone

Cuando era niño, recuerdo preguntarle a mi mamá durante la Misa justo antes de la comunión, ¿“se le acaban las hostias al Padre?” Me respondió de manera rápida y bastante callada, “no, nunca se le acaban.” Mi mente de niño escuchó estas palabras con gran incredulidad y admiración. ¡Al sacerdote nunca se le acaban las hostias! ¡Dios debe colocarlas milagrosamente! En mi pensar, me imaginaba a ángeles depositando más hostias en el ciborio asegurándose de que haya siempre suficientes. Aunque... Read more
