God’s Patience directed toward Salvation

Last updated on: November 13, 2020 at 8:59 pm   By Father Pablo Migone

As my deadline to submit this article approaches, the official results of the presidential election have not yet been finalized.  For forty-eight hours I have felt impatient with a desire for things to unravel to their end whatever that may be, and a quick scroll through social media shows that I am not alone.  Patience is a virtue difficult to exercise, especially in modernity when we have grown used to immediate responses and results.  The word patience comes from the... Read more

Bishop Parkes of Savannah Releases Statement on McCarrick Report

Last updated on: November 10, 2020 at 9:36 pm   By Father Pablo Migone

November 10, 2020 The report on ex-Cardinal and ex-Priest Theodore McCarrick was released this morning by the Holy See. While it will take time to read it with appropriate thoroughness, please know that I am praying for his victims and for all of those who have been hurt by the Church and her ministers through action or inaction. This report represents a darkness in the history of the Church, and is a reminder to those of us charged with shepherding the flock... Read more

Miracle Worker Father Ubald in Need of Miracle

Last updated on: November 6, 2020 at 11:04 pm   By Father Pablo Migone

Father Ubald survived the 1994 Rwandan Genocide. He played an instrumental role in the healing process of the country once the genocide ended. He was led by the Holy Spirit to pray with people and to bless them with Jesus truly present in the Blessed Sacrament.  He began to see Jesus work miracles in his midst. For the past few years, he has led The Secret of Peace, a retreat center in southwestern Rwanda where the faithful gather to pray... Read more

A Response to Archbishop Viganò’s latest letter

Last updated on: November 6, 2020 at 2:14 pm   By Father Pablo Migone

Archbishop Viganò, former Apostolic Nuncio to the United States, has written a new letter addressed to “American Catholics and to all Americans of good will.”  It was published by The Remnant Newspaper on November 4, 2020. I have commented on Viganò’s letters before, and even speculated that these letters may be written by someone else who is deeply invested in U.S. politics.  I understand that the Archbishop speaks English very well, and has always had a keen interest in U.S. politics. ... Read more

En la pandemia, Cristo está cerca

Last updated on: October 31, 2020 at 2:16 pm   By Father Pablo Migone

Varias veces escuché a mi papá decir: “Cuando vi al hombre dar un paso sobre la luna, supe que nada era imposible”. Mi papá tenía veintidós años en 1969, acababa de terminar sus estudios y estaba a punto de casarse con mi mamá. El progreso especialmente desde la revolución industrial ha definido la trayectoria de la humanidad. El enfoque principal de la tecnología y el progreso es el mejoramiento de la experiencia humana. En estos últimos cien años pienso que... Read more

A path forward in the pandemic

Last updated on: October 30, 2020 at 5:22 pm   By Father Pablo Migone

It seems as if March 2020 was a very long time ago.  The streets of downtown Savannah were empty.  There were no tourists, no pedestrians, and every parking spot was available.  Most businesses were closed except the pharmacy and a few coffee shops.  On March 27th, Pope Francis entered an empty and darkening Saint Peter Square for a special prayer service and blessing – one that captivated and consoled millions of souls worldwide. He opened his message stating, “a thick... Read more

An Informed, Conscious, Catholic Vote

Last updated on: October 29, 2020 at 9:20 pm   By Father Pablo Migone

I recently read a Catholic parish bulletin from the Diocese of Charlotte where the Pastor included the 2002 A Brief Catechism for Catholic Voters written by Fr. Stephen Torraco which was widely circulated before the 2004 election.  I found the same guide published on the EWTN website. Father Torraco uses a simple question and answer format to raise various issues.  Among his statements he writes, “If a political candidate supported abortion, or any other moral evil, such as assisted suicide... Read more

Bishop Stephen Parkes Issues Statement Regarding Elections 2020

Last updated on: October 24, 2020 at 2:32 pm   By Father Pablo Migone

As we prepare for Election Day 2020, it is of critical importance that we make decisions based upon an informed conscience and our own personal prayer and reflection. I encourage you to fully participate in the election process but also to be aware of the critical issues of our times. Every vote is important and the decisions that we make today affect not only ourselves but future generations. …en español abajo… As a Church we do not endorse candidates and... Read more

Thoughts on Pope Francis’ words

Last updated on: October 23, 2020 at 4:25 pm   By Father Pablo Migone

On October 1963 during the Second Vatican Council after a heated debate whether the treatise on the Virgin Mary should be kept separate or be incorporated into the document on the Church Lumen Gentium, the New York Times ran the headline, “Council Votes to Downgrade Mary.”  This headline gave an impression incongruent with what actually happened at the Council, and in particular at that specific debate.  The role of the Virgin Mary was not downgraded, but rather the document that... Read more

Pallium: Sign of Unity

Last updated on: October 20, 2020 at 10:27 am   By Father Pablo Migone

When he foretold that Peter would deny him, Jesus said to him, “Simon, Simon, behold Satan has demanded to sift all of you like wheat, but I have prayed that your own faith may not fail; and once you have turned back, you must strengthen your brothers.”  Tradition points to the Church of Peter’s Primacy on the shore of the Sea of Galilee where the risen Jesus said to Peter “feed my lambs, tend my sheep, and feed my sheep.”  When... Read more
