He aquí la Cruz del Señor

Last updated on: September 30, 2019 at 6:05 pm   By Father Pablo Migone

En el centro de la Plaza de San Pedro en Roma hay un gran obelisco egipcio. A pesar de ser muy antigua la basílica, este obelisco es aproximadamente 3.500 años más viejo, y ha permanecido cerca de la Colina Vaticana por unos 2.000 años. El emperador romano Calígula transfirió este obelisco de la ciudad de Heliópolis a Roma y lo instaló en medio del Circo Vaticano en el año 37 d. C. Esta nueva arena deportiva fue construida al lado... Read more

Martyrdom in Coastal Georgia

Last updated on: September 28, 2019 at 1:12 pm   By Father Pablo Migone

I delivered this homily at Nativity of Our Lady Catholic Church in Darien, Georgia for the 422th anniversary of the death of the Servant of God Friar Pedro de Corpa and Companions. I have always thought that if God chose and called Saint Paul to play a foundational role in the early Church, God can definitely choose and call whoever he wishes to do whatever he needs to get done. Paul was not seeking Jesus, but was killing his disciples.... Read more

Behold the Cross of the Lord

Last updated on: September 14, 2019 at 11:05 am   By Father Pablo Migone

An Egyptian obelisk stands in the middle of Saint Peter Square in Rome.  As old as the Basilica is, the mighty obelisk is approximately 3,500 years older, and has stood by the Vatican Hill for 2,000 years.  The Roman Emperor Caligula transferred this obelisk from the city of Heliopolis to Rome and installed it in the middle of the Vatican Circus in AD 37.  This new sports arena was built on the side of the Vatican Hill outside the city... Read more

Smiling is Forbidden

Last updated on: September 12, 2019 at 1:09 pm   By Father Pablo Migone

I have only seen a sign forbidding visitors to smile or laugh in a public place once in my life.  The site had no guards actively enforcing the rule, but the simple recounting of the horrific acts that unfolded at the site was enough to keep a person from smiling.  What horrible thing could have happened in a place that forbids smiling and laughing? The Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum was built as a high school in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, and... Read more

Sobre inmigrantes, de un inmigrante

Last updated on: September 4, 2019 at 10:46 am   By Father Pablo Migone

Cuando fui ordenado sacerdote nunca me imaginé que estaría tan inmerso en el tema de la inmigración. Anticipaba que serviría a mis compañeros inmigrantes y que trabajaría con católicos de habla hispana ya que yo hablaba español. Lo que nunca imaginé fue que como sacerdote pagaría la fianza de feligreses para que salgan de la cárcel, actuaría como mediador entre el departamento de policía y mis parroquianos, los organizaría para que participen en marchas en Atlanta y Washington, sería citado... Read more

About immigrants, from an immigrant

Last updated on: September 3, 2019 at 9:56 am   By Father Pablo Migone

When I was ordained a priest I never imagined that I would become so immersed into the issue of immigration.  I knew that as an immigrant I would serve fellow immigrants, and I anticipated working with Spanish-speaking Catholics since I spoke Spanish.  I could not imagine however that I would be bailing parishioners out of jail, serving as mediator between the police department and my parishioners, helping parishioners go to marches in Atlanta and Washington, that I would be misquoted... Read more

El compromiso como camino a la felicidad

Last updated on: August 7, 2019 at 12:30 pm   By Father Pablo Migone

Esta mañana escuché en la radio un fascinante reportaje sobre el funcionamiento de la mente humana. El científico que fue entrevistado describió un reciente estudio que realizó el cual produjo resultados sorprendentes: las personas que toman decisiones concretas e irrevocables son más felices que aquellas que prefieren mantener varias opciones abiertas sin elegir definitivamente una cosa sobre otra. El científico quedó tan impresionado con los resultados de su investigación que inmediatamente le propuso matrimonio a su novia con quien había... Read more

Commitment as a path to happiness

Last updated on: August 6, 2019 at 9:38 am   By Father Pablo Migone

This morning I listened to a fascinating story on the radio about the inner workings of the mind.  The scientist interviewed described a recent study he conducted that yielded shocking results: people who make concrete, irrevocable choices are happier than those who prefer leaving their options open and fail to choose definitively one thing over another.  The scientist was so surprised with the findings of his research that he went home and proposed to his girlfriend with whom he had... Read more

Forgotten Rural Georgia Catholic Mission

Last updated on: August 3, 2019 at 11:45 am   By Father Pablo Migone

There is a small, old Catholic church not many know about in rural Georgia.  For decades it was the only Catholic church between Augusta and Savannah serving a small Catholic community.  I have driven countless times between those two cities, and I never knew about Saint Joseph Catholic Church in Bay Branch just a few yards away from Highway 21.  Yesterday I found it and took some pictures. After the Civil War in the 1870s, Slavic and German Catholic families... Read more

To the Ends of the Earth: A Journey to Nigeria

Last updated on: August 1, 2019 at 11:30 am   By Father Pablo Migone

Bishop Hartmayer of the Diocese of Savannah and I recently traveled to the ends of the earth.  After the familiar drive to Atlanta from Savannah, we boarded two long flights which after twenty-four hours carried us to the city of Abuja in central Nigeria.  The purpose of the long journey was simple: to participate in the ordinations to the Priesthood of Theodore Agba, Solomon Kaanan, and Peter Lanshima.  These three young men came to the Diocese of Savannah after completing... Read more
