Music of God

Last updated on: November 13, 2017 at 10:30 am   By Father Pablo Migone

When I was thirteen, my parents, sister and I traveled to Paris for a week.  We visited many Parisian landmarks including the remarkable twelfth century gothic cathedral dedicated to Our Lady, Notre Dame de Paris.  The flying buttresses, rose windows, towers, and uplifting interior pointed to a higher place, encouraging us to lift up our minds and hearts to a transcendent and eternal God.  After graduating from high school I returned to the historic cathedral and attended Mass on June... Read more

Lift Up Your Hearts, Not Your Phones

Last updated on: November 9, 2017 at 9:21 am   By Father Pablo Migone

I chuckled this afternoon while reading the latest from Pope Francis: “At one point during the Mass the priest says, ‘we lift up our hearts, he does not say, we lift up our phones.'” When attending any Papal event, one quickly notices the high number of phones that are used to take pictures or videos.  Is the “magic” of the moment lost in our desire to capture it forever?  I believe it is. The Pope criticized those who use their phones... Read more

Santos Simon y Judas Tadeo: Dios siempre obrando

Last updated on: October 27, 2017 at 11:01 am   By Father Pablo Migone

Al extremo sur de la Basílica de San Pedro en Roma hay un altar dedicado en 1963 por el Papa Juan XXIII a San José, el esposo de la Virgen María. El mosaico sobre el altar muestra la imagen tradicional del santo con Jesús cargado y un lirio blanco en su mano. Proclamado patrono de la Iglesia universal en 1870 por el Papa Pío IX, la dedicación de este altar casi un siglo más tarde asegura la presencia central de... Read more

Saints Simon and Jude: God always at work

Last updated on: October 27, 2017 at 11:06 am   By Father Pablo Migone

In the southern side of Saint Peter’s Basilica in Rome is an altar dedicated in 1963 by Pope John XXIII to Saint Joseph, the Virgin Mary’s husband.  The mosaic over the altar shows the traditional image of the saint holding Jesus and a white lily.  Proclaimed patron of the universal church in 1870 by Pope Pius IX, the dedication of this altar almost a century later ensured a central presence of Saint Joseph in the Basilica.

Respondiendo al Mal

Last updated on: October 13, 2017 at 1:43 pm   By Father Pablo Migone

San Pablo escribió en su Carta a los Romanos, “nunca paguen a nadie mal por mal… no se venguen ustedes mismos… no sean vencidos por el mal, sino venzan con el bien el mal”.  Estas palabras de San Pablo son difíciles de escuchar durante estos días mientras procesamos el horrendo evento ocurrido en Las Vegas este último 1º de octubre. Meditando sobre este pasaje bíblico, el sacerdote holandés Henri Nouwen una vez dijo que “estas palabras van directas al corazón... Read more

A Response to Evil

Last updated on: October 13, 2017 at 11:06 am   By Father Pablo Migone

Saint Paul wrote to the Romans, “never pay back evil with evil… never try to get revenge… do not be mastered by evil, but master evil with good.”  These words of Scripture are challenging to hear these days as we process the horrendous event which occurred in Las Vegas last October 1st.  Meditating on this passage, the Dutch spiritual writer Father Henri Nouwen once stated that “these words cut to the heart of the spiritual life.  They make it clear... Read more

Memories of Saint Michael’s Mountain

Last updated on: September 29, 2017 at 3:48 pm   By Father Pablo Migone

My devotion to Saint Michael the Archangel began the summer of 2000, the same year I graduated from high school.  During that summer I participated in an exchange program where I stayed with a French family in the beautiful town of Loches (near Tours).  One of the weekend trips scheduled as part of the exchange program was a visit to the Abbey of Mont Saint Michel in Normandy.  Located in a breath-taking setting, the monastery sits on top of a... Read more

Over two hundred vocation directors and support staff gathered in New Orleans this week for the 54th annual conference sponsored by the National Conference of Diocesan Vocation Directors (NCDVD).  This National organization provides support throughout the year to Vocation Offices in the United States and a few other English speaking dioceses in the world.

El mártir de Oklahoma

Last updated on: September 28, 2017 at 3:42 pm   By Father Pablo Migone

  En enero del de 2013 abordé un avión con destino a Guatemala junto con mi amigo sacerdote, el Padre Tom Peyton. Desde mi ordenación en el 2009, este Padre me había invitado varias veces para hacer una peregrinación a Guatemala y El Salvador visitando lugares ligados a religiosos y religiosas asesinados en estos países en la década del 80. Revisando el itinerario reconocí que solo sabía algo de Monseñor Oscar Romero, pero los otros nombres en el itinerario, incluyendo... Read more

Cambio en un abrir y cerrar de ojos

Last updated on: September 26, 2017 at 1:01 pm   By Father Pablo Migone

La vida cambia en un abrir y cerrar de ojos. Basta una llamada telefónica, una reunión o una opción aparentemente sin mucha importancia. El cambio puede ser positivo, pero cuando este es el caso, uno acepta el cambio con alegría y continúa viviendo agradecido por la bendición inesperada. Cuando el cambio es desagradable, nuestro mundo se viene abajo.  El futuro se oscurece y parece como si nada será igual. Jesús dijo a sus discípulos, “estén despiertos, porque no saben en... Read more
