Pastor’s Corner
It was after the funeral of old Mr.
Rocco, and Francisco and his mother
went back to Mr. Rocco’s house for one
last look. “Wow—I have great memories
of Mr. Rocco. He’s the one who taught me
carpentry; I wouldn’t have this business
today if it weren’t for him.” “Yes,” his
mother agreed. “After your father died,
he stepped in to be sure you’d have a man
in your life.”
His neighbor’s house was exactly as
Francisco remembered. Every picture,
every piece of furniture… except...
“Wait,” Francisco stopped suddenly...
“Where is his old gold box, he always
kept on his desk? He would only ever
tell me, it contained the thing he valued
most. Now I guess I’ll never know what
that was.”
About two weeks later, a small
package was special-delivered to
Francisco. He tore it open, and his
hands began to shake. “Upon my death,
please forward to Francisco Tempo.” As
Francisco opened the small gold box,
his heart was pounding. Inside was a
beautiful gold pocket watch. Francisco
unlatched the cover and read the words
engraved: “Francisco, Thanks for your
time!–Liberato Rocco.”
Francisco felt tears in his eyes. “I was
just a kid. He was busy, he must have
had more important things to do. I can’t
believe the thing he valued most was...
my time.”
The Easter miracle can be quietly relived, time and again, by us—whenever
we give the precious gift of time—really,
the only gift we have to give to others. A
joyful Easter, everyone! Oh, and—thanks
for your time.
Go in peace to love and serve our God!

Are you registered In the Church?
Or are you a new Member?
An active Our Lady of the Rosary Membership
is Important
A parishioner is,
“One who is registered and actively
participates in the liturgical/pastoral life of
the parish through the generous, sacrificial
and proportionate sharing of his or her Godgiven giftedness of time, talent and treasure.”
Registration and regular use of our envelopes
or Online Giving service is essential to the proper
administration of a parish and necessary in order to
become a properly identified member of a Parish
family. This is the only way that we have of knowing
that you are attending Our Lady of the Rosary and
are an active participating member. This will be
necessary in the event a letter of acknowledgement
is requested for parish membership, and other
sacramental requests or letters of permissions.
Once you have reached the age of 18
you are no longer considered registered
under your parents and must establish
yourself as an adult parishioner.

By Your Cross, We Are Saved.
JOHN 3:16-17
Jesus, on the cross you feel the whole weight of
evil, and with the force of God’s love you conquer
it, you defeat it with your resurrection. As I embrace
your cross with love lead me not to sadness, but to
joy, to the joy of having been saved and of doing
a little of what you did on the day of your death.
Through your love, God conquered evil.

Divine Mercy Sunday
Next Sunday April 12th, at 3 PM our parish will join
many other parishes honoring the infinite merciful
love of the Lord Jesus, as He Himself has requested
through Saint Faustina Kowalska. In celebration of
Divine Mercy Sunday, we will have a Special Hour
of Adoration and we invite everyone to participate.
Our Lord said to Saint Faustina: “The very depths
of My Mercy will be opened on this day. I will
pour out a sea of graces upon those souls that will
approach the fount of My Mercy.” Literature is
provided in the back of the Church.

Giving Ourselves Completely to God
“We have been buried with Christ Jesus by baptism
into death, so that, just as he was raised from the
dead by the glory of the Father, so we too might walk
in newness of life.” (Romans 6:3-4)
Today I really felt a deep joy that Jesus can’t
go anymore through the agony, but that he wants
to go through it in me. More than ever I surrender
myself to him. Yes, more than ever I will be at his
disposal. Total surrender consists in giving ourselves
completely to God, because God has given himself to
us. If God owes nothing to us and is ready to impart
to us no less than himself, shall we answer with just
a fraction of ourselves? I give up my own self and
in this way induce God to live for me. Therefore
to possess God we must allow him to possess our
souls. How poor we would be if God had not given
us the power of giving ourselves to him. How rich
we are now. How easy it is to conquer God. We give
ourselves to him, then God is ours, and there can be
nothing more ours than God.
—Bl. Mother Teresa
Jesus, help me give myself wholly to you and to
your service. Today I will…

Releasing Lost Power
Those who want to save their life will lose it.
—Luke 9:24
The animated film, Frozen, is a parable about the
wonders and dangers of power. Elsa is a girl possessed
of magical abilities of cold and ice, but when she
accidentally injures her sister, the sages of her world
instruct her to minimize contact with others and keep
her powers hidden. The Easter version of that story
might be called Fiery or Enlightened, for we follow
a Lord possessed with powers of the sun that are
also a two-edged sword. The light of Christ thaws
frozen hearts, but it also sheds the discomforting
light of truth on those who lurk in darkness. The fire
of the Spirit can change the world, but it also puts
the unwelcome heat of change on the status quo.
Prophets know the perils of openly wielding the
double-edged razor of God’s word. Like Queen Elsa
and Christ’s disciples, Easter children of light might
be tempted to lock themselves away in fear. Yet, in
the film and in the gospel, fear is the great enemy of
power. We are called to “let it go,” so that the light of
Christ may illuminate the world and his power might
birth an eternal spring.
Melt our frozen powers so that we may rise in the
light of Christ.

Please, come to Church Dressed Appropriately!
To be modestly and tastefully dressed is a sign of respect for God, for our selves, and for others.
It’s a false assumption that God does not care how we dress. Jesus told us “Whatever you do to the least of my brothers,
you do it to me.” If our attire is indecently provocative (short shorts, strapless, backless, spaghetti strap dresses/tops, or
displaying cleavage), displaying unwholesome graphics (skulls, advertisements, scantly clad people) or tattered, it becomes
offensive to our brothers and sisters who are worshipping the Lord and therefore offensive to God’s Majesty.
Ask this question: “Would you dress this way before God?” You are! He sees everything and you are in His house.
Consider Remembering
Your Parish in Your Will.
