Little Italy, San Diego, CA 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!

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. Pope Francis 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.

Our Lady of the Rosary Page 4 Little Italy, San Diego, CA 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.

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.

Our Lady’s Gifts www.ourladysgiftshop.org (619) 234-0162 ~ [email protected] 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.
