The Georgia Martyrs: Missionary Zeal for Souls

Last updated on: October 4, 2018 at 10:28 am   By Father Pablo Migone

Religious fervor erupted in Spain in 1492 when the Spanish Kingdoms were united under the Catholics monarchs Ferdinand and Isabella, the last Muslim caliphate of Granada was defeated leading to the expulsion of the Moors after 800 years of conquest, and Christopher Columbus claimed a whole new continent for the crown.  Fifteenth-century Spaniards undoubtedly saw the hand of God at work in these significant events.  As the reconquest of Spain concluded and reestablished Christianity in the whole peninsula after centuries,... Read more

Pope Francis addresses V Encuentro

Last updated on: September 20, 2018 at 11:32 pm   By Father Pablo Migone

Pope Francis addressed the 3,500 delegates gathered for the opening of the V Encuentro near Dallas Texas on a giant screen.  The Pope encouraged the delegates and stated that the Encuentro is a concrete way that the Church in the USA is responding to the challenge of leaving behind a comfortable place in order to seek communion with those who are desperately seeking hope.   He challenged us to seek ways to better respond to the presence of youth and of... Read more

He called the sick, not the healthy

Last updated on: September 9, 2018 at 8:56 pm   By Father Pablo Migone

When we are sick, it makes no sense to wait until we are healed to go to the doctor.  Rather, we go to the doctor so he or she can heal us, no matter how sick we are. The doctor does not judge us for being sick.  It is the doctor’s job to be present among the sick in order to heal them. We approach Jesus in this same way: ill, in need of His help and trusting that He... Read more

Respuesta a una invitación

Last updated on: September 8, 2018 at 7:35 pm   By Father Pablo Migone

Unas semanas antes de completar mi asignación en la Parroquia San José en Augusta organicé un taller de preparación matrimonial en español para varias parejas. A las 6:30pm abrí el salón, encendí el aire acondicionado y confirmé que todo esté listo. Las mesas y sillas estaban en su lugar, la comida preparada, mis charlas listas, y la pareja que conduciría el taller ya había llegado. De repente era ya las 7:00, la hora de iniciar, pero ninguna de las ocho... Read more

Perfect Gifts and the Father of Lights

Last updated on: September 2, 2018 at 8:43 am   By Father Pablo Migone

I remember one time when I was fourteen or fifteen years old, riding on the back of a pick-up truck in the Peruvian Amazon.  I had spent the day with my dad around the small town of Cuñumbuque visiting dairy farmers.  Up until the year before, the town had been controlled by one of Peru’s main terrorist organizations, now that the army had liberated it, its people were free to do business with outsiders.  That’s why we were there. As... Read more

En imitación de Santa Rosa: Penitencia y Reparación

Last updated on: September 1, 2018 at 2:22 pm   By Father Pablo Migone

Santa Rosa de Lima era conocida por su belleza inigualable, su intensa oración, su servicio infatigable y su rigurosa vida penitencial. Cuando era pequeño mi mama me llevó a visitar el santuario de Santa Rosa en el centro de Lima. De las muchas cosas que vi ese día, la que más me llamó la atención ya no está expuesta al público. Recuerdo ver colgando de una pared varios aparatos que Santa Rosa solía usar para hacer penitencia. Una monja nos... Read more

Imitating Saint Rose: Penance and Reparation

Last updated on: August 30, 2018 at 9:19 am   By Father Pablo Migone

Saint Rose of Lima was known for her unmatchable beauty, her intense prayer, her untiring service, and rigorous penitential lifestyle.  When I was a child my mother took my sister and me to visit her sanctuary in downtown Lima.  Of the various things I saw that day, the one that struck me the most is no longer on display.  I remember that hanging from a wall were various items Saint Rose used to inflict penances on her body.  A nun... Read more

Response to an invitation

Last updated on: August 27, 2018 at 9:25 am   By Father Pablo Migone

A few weeks before leaving my assignment at Saint Joseph Parish in Augusta, I organized a marriage preparation workshop in Spanish for several couples.  I opened the hall at 6:30pm, turned on the air conditioning, and made sure everything was ready.  The tables and chairs were set, the food was ready, my talks were finished, and the couple I invited to lead the workshop arrived.  Suddenly it was 7pm, the time to start, but none of the eight couples arrived. ... Read more

Letter to the faithful from Bishop Hartmayer of Savannah

Last updated on: August 24, 2018 at 6:23 pm   By Father Pablo Migone

My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, Peace and all good things! I first want to thank you for taking the time and sharing your thoughts and feelings with me regarding the “Morality Crisis” in the Catholic Church today. I agree with you that words alone are meaningless. We need to take swift and serious action to clean up our own house. As a relatively new bishop, I am scandalized, angered and deeply hurt by the cover-ups that have occurred... Read more

Facing a moral catastrophe

Last updated on: August 16, 2018 at 8:18 pm   By Father Pablo Migone

These last few days have been sickening.  To think that so many have been profoundly wounded by the depraved actions of priests and the negligence of bishops.  The suffering of the victims is unfathomable. I usually do well putting my thoughts and feelings into words, but these past few days I have been unable to do so. This morning I read a statement by Cardinal DiNardo describing this whole situation as a “moral catastrophe.”  I have read many statements, expressions... Read more
