Cardinal Cupich criticizes Bishops on President Biden

January 20, 2021 By Father Pablo Migone

News outlets reported this morning that Rome had put a stop to the publication of a statement by Archbishop Gomez as president of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops where he congratulated President Biden while offering strong words in regards to where Biden and the Church disagree. The statement was published anyways, and Rome issued a friendly statement to President Biden later in the day. After the USCCB published the statement of Archbishop Gomez, which I found fair and… Read more

Bishops Statement on the Inauguration of President Biden

Archbishop of Los Angeles, Jose Gomez, issued a statement today on the inauguration of President Joseph Biden. I quote below the “pertinent” paragraphs. Of the whole statement, these words are the ones most Catholics will be interested in reading. Gomez speaks clearly with the mind of the Church. He welcomes the new president, yet speaks resolutely on the issues where absolute disagreement exists: abortion, contraception, marriage and gender. “I look forward to working with President Biden and his administration, and the… Read more

A door into a new year

January 19, 2021 By Father Pablo Migone

Among the gods of the Roman Empire was Janus, god of doors, gates and passageways. As god of these, it is reasonable that he was also the god of transitions, of beginnings and ends. He was portrayed as having two faces, each one looking in the opposite direction: one looking to the past and another to the future. Oftentimes Janus also held a key in his hand, signifying his authority over doors and transitions. It should be no surprise that… Read more

La puerta a un nuevo año

January 18, 2021 By Father Pablo Migone

Entre los numerosos dioses del Imperio Romano se encontraba Jano, el dios de puertas, portones y pasillos. Como patrón de estos, tiene sentido que también fuera el dios de las transiciones, de los inicios y los finales. Jano era retratado con dos caras, cada una mirando en la dirección opuesta: una mirando al pasado y otra al futuro. A menudo, Jano también tenía una llave en la mano, la que representaba su autoridad sobre las puertas y las transiciones. No… Read more

Father Ubald Rugirangoga’s Facebook page recently posted: “Father Ubald passed peacefully last night at 11:17pm Mountain Time into the hands of his loving Savior Jesus and His Mother in heaven Mary. He fought the good fight. He is in the glory with God and we have a new intercessor in heaven.

An Epiphany to Remember: US Capitol Besieged

January 6, 2021 By Father Pablo Migone

For the first time since the War of 1812 when the British besieged and burnt the US Capitol in Washington DC, the Capitol Building has been besieged. Supporters of President Trump overwhelmed the capitol police this afternoon, disrupted the work of elected officials, and vandalized federal property. Millions of us have been glued to the television all afternoon watching in utter amazement at pictures from our capital. As I watch and listen, one phrase echoes in my mind: “words have… Read more

Alégrense, Jesús ha nacido

Gaudete Christus est natus ex Maria Virgine gaudete. Un hermoso villancico del siglo dieciséis abre con estas palabras las cuales invitan a los oyentes a alegrarse por el nacimiento de Cristo – ¡Alégrense, Cristo ha nacido de la Virgen María, Alégrense! Escuché este bello y enérgico villancico mientras estaba en seminario. Su melodía pegadiza y su estribillo repetitivo son difíciles de borrar de la mente una vez que se escuchan. Luego de nuestra larga espera durante el Adviento, después de… Read more

Rejoice, Jesus is born

Gaudete Christus est natus ex Maria Virgine gaudete. A beautiful sixteenth century Christmas carol opens with this line inviting listeners to rejoice in the birth of the Christ – Rejoice Christ is born of the Virgin Mary, Rejoice! I first heard this beautiful, brisk carol while in seminary. Its catchy tune and repeating refrain are both difficult to remove from the mind once they are heard. After our waiting throughout Advent, after lighting the candles of the wreath, we celebrate… Read more

Adviento y el Paso del Tiempo

December 11, 2020 By Father Pablo Migone

0 Comments

Cuando era un estudiante universitario decidí que el tiempo no me gobernaría. Me negué a usar un reloj y tampoco tenía un celular. Sorprendentemente, nunca llegué tarde a donde tenía que ir. Aprendí a estar atento a las personas y actividades que me rodeaban para determinar el paso del tiempo. Desarrollé un reloj interno bastante preciso. A pesar de mi deseo de rebelarme contra el tiempo, los relojes seguían marchando y el mundo seguía girando alrededor del sol. Aprendí la… Read more
