Thoughts from a refugee

Last updated on: February 21, 2016 at 7:14 pm By Father Pablo Migone

Several years after World War II, while Europe still faced a major crisis of displaced people and refugees, Pope Pius XII wrote the Apostolic Constitution Exul Familia Nazarethana where he addressed the need for nations to open their doors to these people and encouraged pastoral action by the Church. Citing the Holy Family as the archetype of every refugee family, he invoked their protection over all migrants and refugees who “whether compelled by fear of persecution or by want, are... Read more

Pope in Ciudad Juarez: No more death or exploitation!

Last updated on: February 17, 2016 at 7:28 pm By Father Pablo Migone

Recalling the conversion of the Ninivites after the preaching of Jonah, Pope Francis implored God so we may receive the gift of tears, which is the gift of God’s mercy that transforms the heart from within. His homily in Ciudad Juarez was a call for us not to forget that immigration today is mostly forced, where thousands leave their homeland due to poverty and violence. The Pope expressed a desire not to forget the human tragedy that immigration is today.... Read more

Palabras de Francisco en Ciudad Juarez

Last updated on: February 17, 2016 at 7:30 pm By Father Pablo Migone

Recordando la conversión de los ninivitas después de la predicación de Jonás, el Papa Francisco imploró a Dios para que podamos recibir el don de lágrimas, que es el don de la misericordia de Dios que transforma el corazón desde dentro. Su mensaje fue un llamado a tomar en cuenta que la migración en diferentes partes del mundo hoy en día es una migración forzada donde miles dejan sus tierras a causa de la pobreza y la violencia. Expresó el... Read more

El Papa en Mexico: Peregrino de la Periferia

Last updated on: March 25, 2016 at 5:09 pm By Father Pablo Migone

Hoy el Papa Francisco celebró una Misa al aire libre con miembros de varias comunidades indígenas en el estado sureño de Chiapas en México. Como siempre, las acciones del Papa durante esta visita apostólica están llenas de significado. Cuantas veces nos ha exhortado el Papa de ir al encuentro de las personas que viven en la periferia. Cuantas veces nos ha pedido al hablar de la cultura del descarte que nos acerquemos hacia aquellos que han sido completamente excluidos de... Read more

Pope Francis going to the margins of Mexico

Last updated on: February 15, 2016 at 6:22 pm By Father Pablo Migone

Pope Francis is putting his words into action: go out to the margins of society! Yesterday he celebrated Mass in the poorest and most populous suburb of Mexico City, Ecatepec, where nobody dares to enter due to its high crime and violence. Even the police is afraid. Most of its 1.7 million inhabitants live in deplorable conditions, and an estimated 100,000 live in extreme poverty. It is here that Pope Francis chose to celebrate Mass and speak against the “father... Read more

Pope to Mexican Bishops: We do not need Princes

Last updated on: February 14, 2016 at 8:30 pm By Father Pablo Migone

Pope Francis addressed the Bishops of Mexico in the beautiful Metropolitan Cathedral of Mexico City after the historic reception of the Pope by President Peña Nieto. Weaving the presence of Our Lady of Guadalupe into his address, I wish to share some topics the Pope addressed in his talk. Francis said strongly to the bishops, “we do not need princes, but a community of witnesses of the Lord.” The Pope emphasized the need for unity and communion among the bishops. “If... Read more

A Nun and a Writer: Catholic Savannah Women Honored

Last updated on: February 12, 2016 at 9:08 pm By Father Pablo Migone

Tonight I had the opportunity to attend a ceremony where the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) honored ten women of vision. The program of the evening described these women as an “elite cadre of trailblazers whose remarkable ideas, insightful leadership and distinguished service have profoundly sculpted the city of Savannah.” Among these ten women, five of whom are deceased and five are living, were included Mother Mathilda Beasley and Flannery O’Connor, both Catholic women who left an undeniable...

Syrian Christians Taking up the Cross

Last updated on: March 25, 2016 at 5:12 pm By Father Pablo Migone

Several months ago, I preached about the ongoing suffering of Christians in the Middle East to a packed cathedral in Savannah. When Mass ended, an elderly man dressed in a roman collar approached me and began thanking me for the homily. I had not noticed him during Mass. He stretched out his hands, grabbed my forearms tightly, and with eyes that pierced my soul, told me he was a retired Syriac Orthodox Bishop. This confirmed for me the fact that this... Read more

Growth, New Church in the Bible Belt

Last updated on: February 6, 2016 at 8:19 pm By Father Pablo Migone

This morning, Bishop Gregory Hartmayer, OFM Conv. dedicated the newest church in the Diocese of Savannah. In 1955, the Diocese purchased a small chapel built by Henry Ford in the 1930s in the town of Richmond Hill. This chapel held nondenominational services for workers of Ford Plantation, an enormous property owned by Ford which included farms and timber. Saint Anne Parish has grown tremendously since 1955, especially in the last ten years during which Richmond Hill has experienced tremendous growth.... Read more

Homily: I worked all night and caught nothing

Last updated on: February 5, 2016 at 3:24 pm By Father Pablo Migone

How many times have you felt discouraged like Peter and said to the Lord in your own words: “Master, I have worked hard all night and have caught nothing?” How many times have you felt overwhelmed like Isaiah and said to the Lord in your own words: “Woe is me, I am doomed!” Of the three men we encounter in today’s readings, only Saint Paul begins with an uplifting attitude. Isaiah and Peter both start off in the dumps and... Read more
