This afternoon the world greeted Pope Leo XIV as he stood at the loggia of Saint Peter Basilica overlooking the thousands who had gathered. Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost, born in Chicago and missionary for many years as an Augustinian priest in Peru, has become Leo XIV. He also resided in Rome as the General of the Augustinian Order. His life experience harkens the reality of a universal Church. “Peace be with you!” he said to us. The words of the... Read more

The Heart of Pope Francis: Mercy and Mission

Last updated on: April 25, 2025 at 2:21 pm By Father Pablo Migone

This is an opinion piece I wrote for the Savannah Morning News After he was elected Pope on March 13th, 2013, I carefully followed every one of Pope Francis’ public appearances. I rapidly noted a reoccurring motif in every single address: “God never tires of forgiving us; we are the ones who tire of seeking his mercy.” Not knowing a thing about Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio of Buenos Aires, now chosen by his brother cardinals to be the Bishop of Rome...

Fulfillment in Work: a lesson from a Waffle House visit

Last updated on: April 16, 2025 at 3:19 pm By Father Pablo Migone

On a Monday afternoon, I swung the door open into a Waffle House. To my surprise, I was the only customer. I sat at the bar. Before the waitress approached me, the cook looked over my way and asked, “do you know what you want?” I always know what I want at Waffle House. I ordered my usual All-Star Special with hashbrowns, bacon, and a regular waffle directly from the cook. As he began to work on my order, the... Read more

The Legacy of Savannah’s Bishop Vérot

In early 2024, I visited Saint Paul Catholic Church in Ellicott City, Maryland, an old mill town a few miles west from Baltimore. The town had been terribly devastated a few years prior by flash floods. A welcoming secretary opened the parish church, which stood atop a hill overlooking the busy main road. A plaque inside the church noted that in that place in 1914, the baseball legend Babe Ruth married Helen Woodford. I asked the secretary if she was... Read more

Why Ukraine still fights? Consider its National Anthem

Last updated on: March 3, 2025 at 2:06 pm By Father Pablo Migone

0 Comments

The answer to the question might be found in the words of the Ukrainian National Anthem. When I taught English at the Ukrainian Catholic University in southwestern Ukraine in the foothills of the Carpathian Mountains, every single day began with the singing of the National Anthem. All the students and teachers lined up in front of the flag by the dining room, and everyone sang loudly and proudly. We the teachers, mostly from the United States, sang along. Here are...

Expansion of IVF, Attack on Human Dignity

Last updated on: February 18, 2025 at 10:17 pm By Father Pablo Migone

0 Comments

In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) is a treatment by which, according to the Mayo Clinic, “mature eggs are collected from ovaries and fertilized by sperm in a lab. Then a procedure is done to place one or more of the fertilized eggs, called embryos, in a uterus, which is where babies develop.” When this procedure is conducted, there is always an excessive number of embryos created. The majority of embryos are frozen in liquid nitrogen for later use by the couple. ... Read more

I Was Shocked Last week, the Savannah Morning News published an article that captured perfectly what I expressed to the reporter, Destini Ambus. She captured not only my words but also my sentiments. She not only took information from the interview, but I can tell she took the time to read many of my blog posts from throughout the years. I was shocked on Wednesday when I saw a picture of me celebrating Mass for Our Lady of Guadalupe on... Read more
