Attendite et Videte

Last updated on: March 25, 2016 at 7:37 pm By Father Pablo Migone

As one drives or walks in a city, there are so many things to read. Advertisements, billboards, road signs, warnings, inscriptions, posters, historical markers, graffiti etc. Most of these do not evoke a deep emotional response, they simply want us to purchase an item, vote for a candidate or stay out of a construction zone. While in Jerusalem I read an inscription while walking down a busy road while participating in the Stations of the Cross. Not only did... Read more

Paris of the South: Buenos Aires

Last updated on: March 25, 2016 at 7:37 pm By Father Pablo Migone

Buenos Aires has been talked about much in the last week ever since its archbishop became Pope Francis. The Paris of the South is a magnificent, bustling, cosmopolitan city home to almost three million people. The Porteños (as people from Buenos Aires are called) are very proud of their city, and rightfully so. I’ve posted a few pictures of the main sites of this great city. Metropolitan Cathedral at the Plaza de Mayo Interior of the Metropolitan Cathedral Tomb of... Read more

Pope Francis Homily: “We must not be afraid of goodness!”

Last updated on: March 19, 2013 at 1:23 pm By Father Pablo Migone

Pope Francis began the homily of his inaugural Mass with a reflection on the role of Saint Joseph as protector of the Virgin Mary, Jesus and the Church. The Pope asked, “How does Joseph exercise his role as protector? He does so discreetly, humbly and silently, but with an unfailing presence and utter fidelity, even when he finds it hard to understand.” The Pope continued by posing a second question, “How does Joseph respond to his calling to be the protector of...

The Sunday Message of Pope Francis

Last updated on: March 17, 2013 at 10:35 pm By Father Pablo Migone

Pope Francis began by wishing everyone a good day and ended by wishing everyone a good lunch. Pope Francis smiled and laughed, interacting in a personal way with a crowd of over 150,000 people. Pope Francis made a joke after mentioning a book by Cardinal Walter Kasper that he was not trying to promote the sale of books by his cardinals. Pope Francis mentioned an old lady who deeply moved him when she said to him, “The Lord forgives all... Read more

Papal election makes Argentinian senator emotional

Last updated on: March 16, 2013 at 10:58 pm By Father Pablo Migone

While addressing the Argentinian Senate on Wednesday, Senator Liliana Negre de Alonso received the news Cardinal Bergoglio had been elected Pope. “Bergolio was chosen?” she interrupted her speech. She turned to the other senators to confirm what she had just learned. Requesting permission to interrupt from the President of the Senate, Negre de Alonso became visibly emotional. “Forgive me I cannot continue speaking, I am too excited.” After being granted an interruption from the President, she continued: “I am supremely...

Pope Francis explains reason for his name

Last updated on: March 16, 2013 at 2:51 pm By Father Pablo Migone

This morning the Pope held an audience with the 6,000 reporters from 81 different countries who have been in Rome throughout the conclave. During the audience he explained how he came about choosing the name Francis. Some people wanted to know why the Bishop of Rome wished to be called Francis. Some thought of Francis Xavier, Francis De Sales, and also Francis of Assisi. I will tell you the story. During the election, I was seated next to the Archbishop... Read more

Hispanic, Latino or Latin American?

Last updated on: March 15, 2013 at 10:34 pm By Father Pablo Migone

Which of these is the proper way to describe people from Central and South America? Having been born in Peru, I am much more comfortable with Latin American (or even better, South American). Depending on how the word “Hispanic” is interpreted, it is either improperly used or artificial. Let me explain. The ancient Latin name for Spain is Hispania. Technically and historically speaking something Hispanic or someone Hispanic comes from Hispania, meaning from Spain and not from Central or South... Read more

Líderes latinoamericanos reaccionan al Papa Francisco

Last updated on: March 15, 2013 at 4:10 pm By Father Pablo Migone

Líderes latinoamericanos han enviado sus felicitaciones al Papa Francisco desde el día de su elección como sucesor de San Pedro. Algunos se expresan con gran respeto y afecto, otros brevemente de una manera formal, y para reírse a carcajadas, están las declaraciones del presidente encargado de Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro. Primero las palabras respetuosas de la Presidenta Cristina Fernández de Argentina con quien el Papa como Arzobispo de Buenos Aires ha tenido fuertes desacuerdos: “En mi nombre, en el del gobierno...

Primera Homilia del Papa Francisco

Last updated on: March 14, 2013 at 11:18 pm By Father Pablo Migone

En una Misa llevada a cabo en la Capilla Sixtina con todos los cardenales que lo eligieron, el Papa Francisco habló directamente a los cardenales marcando una actitud específica a seguir en su labor pastoral. “Cuando caminamos sin la Cruz, cuando edificamos sin la Cruz y cuando confesamos un Cristo sin Cruz, no somos Discípulos del Señor: somos mundanos, somos obispos, sacerdotes, cardenales, papas, pero no discípulos del Señor.” Llamando con sus palabras a los cardenales a poner a Cristo...

First Homily of Pope Francis

Last updated on: March 14, 2013 at 5:38 pm By Father Pablo Migone

Before the text, my comments: The Pope hardly consults the text of his homily. He speaks freely and from the heart. I have marked the most striking parts of the brief homily. He is calling all to return to Christ wholeheartedly. In these three readings I see that there is something in common: it is movement. In the first reading, movement is the journey [itself]; in the second reading, movement is in the up-building of the Church. In the third,... Read more
