Watching and Waiting

Last updated on: March 25, 2016 at 6:21 pm By Father Pablo Migone

[Written for The Southern Cross] If I got up early enough as a kid, I would see the watchman come up to the house, stand by parents’ window and let my father know he was leaving. I recall at least once hearing his voice as he spoke with my dad through the cracked window. We needed a watchman since the police could provide very little security in a city where crime and terrorism were gaining strength. I have oftentimes wondered... Read more

Vigilando y Esperando

Last updated on: March 25, 2016 at 6:21 pm By Father Pablo Migone

Si de niño me levantaba lo suficientemente temprano, veía al vigilante acercarse a la casa, dirigirse a la ventana de mis padres y dejarle saber a mi papá que se estaba marchando. Recuerdo al menos una vez escuchar su voz cuando el vigilante hablaba con mi papa por la ventana. Necesitábamos a un vigilante ya que la policía no ofrecía mucha seguridad en una ciudad donde la delincuencia y el terrorismo ganaban fuerza. Muchas veces he pensado sobre este vigilante...

Thanksgiving in Plymouth

Last updated on: March 25, 2016 at 6:21 pm By Father Pablo Migone

Even though Christmas may have become secularized, the beauty of Thanksgiving is that it retains its religious tone. When we give thanks, we always have to give thanks for something to someone. If someone says, “I am thankful,” one can ask two logical questions, “for what?” and “to whom?” If a person can’t answer either of these two questions, then it’s silly for the person to say “I am thankful.” When we celebrate Thanksgiving, there is an understood sense that...

Lima’s Electric Train

Last updated on: March 25, 2016 at 6:21 pm By Father Pablo Migone

When I was a kid in the mid 1980s, President Alan Garcia began the construction of a 21 kilometer long elevated train track to connect downtown Lima with its southern districts. The “electric train” as it was called was to be a futuristic project, quickly moving thousands of people over an ever-more congested city. In 1989 there was a sample car of the train at the annual Pacific Fair of Lima. I remember getting on it and being very excited.... Read more

The Jubilee Church: Modern in Rome?

Last updated on: March 25, 2016 at 6:22 pm By Father Pablo Migone

Today I came across a video of the Dives in Misericordia Parish or Jubilee Church built in the Roman suburb of Tor Tre Teste for the celebration of the new millennium. The video referred to it as the “most spectacular” church of Rome, but I have to disagree. I can say without hesitating that it’s “the most surprising” or “the most unconventional” church, but I find it impossible to say it’s more spectacular than many of the architectural gems of...

The Martyrs of Lyon

Last updated on: March 25, 2016 at 6:22 pm By Father Pablo Migone

Forty-eight Christians were condemned and executed in the Roman city of Lugdunum, which at the time was the capital of the province Gallia Lugdunensis. Lugdunum was the most important Roman city west of Rome, known today as Lyon, France. The martyrdom of these brave men and women in 177 AD was recorded some years later by the historian Eusebius in the fifth chapter of his Eccelsiastical History. Eusebius records that these men and women “heroically endured all that the people... Read more

Light in the Darkness

Last updated on: March 25, 2016 at 6:22 pm By Father Pablo Migone

[Written for The Southern Cross] My first emergency call to the hospital as a priest came just a few days after arriving to my first parish assignment. I carefully placed my brand new container with fresh oil in my shirt’s pocket and I held the official Pastoral Care of the Sick green prayer book in my hand. I took the elevator to the intensive care unit. As I entered the unit after having called the nurses station, I heard a... Read more

Luz en las tinieblas

Last updated on: March 25, 2016 at 6:22 pm By Father Pablo Migone

Mi primera llamada de emergencia al hospital como sacerdote ocurrió pocos días después de llegar a mi primera parroquia. Coloqué cuidadosamente mi envase nuevo con los santos oleos en el bolsillo de mi camisa y en mano tenía el libro de cuidado pastoral para los enfermos. Tomé el ascensor a la unidad de cuidados intensivos. Al entrar a la unidad después de haber llamado por el intercomunicador a la estación de enfermería, oí a un hombre decir al verme, “Bien,...

Where, O Death, is your Victory?

Last updated on: March 25, 2016 at 6:22 pm By Father Pablo Migone

[Homily for the 32nd Sunday of Ordinary Time] There is one thing in our human experience that we all share simply because we are human beings. Regardless of where we are born and the color of our skin, regardless of the language we speak and the amount of money we have, regardless of our religious beliefs, intelligence, virtues, overall health, etc. there is one great equalizer in our human experience. This great equalizer common to us all is death. As... Read more

Internet Assessment of Pope Francis

Last updated on: November 9, 2013 at 9:51 am By Father Pablo Migone

Many months ago I posted on the incredible amount of trash that exists in cyberspace. I commented on the aggressive and negative comments people write, especially when reacting to news articles. This morning however while reading an article on Pope Francis, I was shocked to discover that every single comment was positive. Is Pope Francis bringing civility and light into cyberspace? I was so impressed that I have copied and pasted all the comments of this news article below (without... Read more
