Our Lady of the Rosary Page 3 Little Italy, San Diego, CA Pastor’s Corner Our conviction of the presence of the Triune God within us should help us to esteem ourselves as God’s holy dwelling place and enable us to lead purer and holier lives, practicing acts of justice and charity. This Triune Presence should also encourage us to respect and honor others as "Temples of the Holy Spirit." The awareness and conviction of the presence of God within us, gives us the strength to face the manifold problems of life with Christian courage. It was such a conviction that prompted the early Christian martyrs, when taken to their execution, to shout the heroic prayer of faith from the psalms: "The Lord of might is with us, our God is within us, and the God of Jacob is our helper" (Psalm 46). We are created in love -- to be a community of loving persons, just as the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are united in love. Since the day we were baptized, we have belonged to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. How privileged we are to grow up in such a beautiful family! Hence let us turn to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit in prayer every day. We belong to Their family, the family of the Triune God. The love, unity and joy in the relationship among the Father, Son and Holy Spirit should be the supreme model of our relationships within our Christian families. Our families become truly Christian when we live in a relationship of love with God and with others. We are made in God’s image and likeness. Just as God is God only in a Trinitarian relationship, so we can be fully human only as one member of a relationship of three partners. The doctrine of the Blessed Trinity challenges us to adopt an "I-and-Godand-neighbor" principle. I am a Christian insofar as I live in a relationship of love with God and other people. Like God the Father, we are called upon to be productive and creative persons by contributing to the building up of the fabric of our family, our church, our community and our nation. Like God the Son, we are called upon to reconcile, to be peacemakers, to put back together that which has been broken, to restore what has been shattered. Like God the Holy Spirit, it is our task to uncover and teach truth and to dispel ignorance. St. Francis Xavier’s favorite prayer was: “Most Holy Trinity, Who lives in me, I praise You, I worship You, I adore You and I love You.” May the Son lead us to the Father through the Spirit, to live with the Triune God forever and ever. Amen. Confirmation 2015 This past Wednesday, May 27th at St. Joseph’s Cathedral, Bishop McElroy conferred the Sacrament of Confirmation upon: Marcelo Arce Casey Beifuss Gabriel Flores Johanna Giannone Dominic Giordano Mark Minutelli Zechariah Oakley Joseph Piconi Let us pray for our young people to accept the Holy Spirit in their hearts and to practice the Catholic Faith throughout their life.

Come to Me and I will Refresh You Our Lady of the Rosary established a small adoration chapel to allow anyone interested the chance to sign up for a private, weekly, one hour devotion. The intent of the chapel is to provide a private place where you may focus, uninterrupted, on Jesus without the distractions associated with regular “perpetual” adoration chapels. This is an excellent opportunity to put forth the extra effort for Jesus to reflect upon the salvation He purchased for us. Spend some time with the Blessed Sacrament and focus on Christ. Commit to one weekly hour with the Lord in the Adoration Chapel (Church parking-lot). You will treasure the 60 minutes of peace and heart to heart with Jesus in the Holy Eucharist. If interested in participating in this opportunity, you must be signed up and attend only during your hour. Please do not interrupt another adorer during their assigned private hour. To sign up, contact Donna at the office at (619) 234-4820 or [email protected]. Page 4 Little Italy, San Diego, CA Online Registration Are you new to the Parish?

Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus Sunday, June 21st, our Sacred Heart Society is sponsoring a Special Celebration at the 10:30 AM Mass, celebrated by Bishop Emeritus Robert Brom. The human heart has always been considered as the true symbol of Love, because love is necessary to us, as is our physical heart. When we celebrate Jesus’ Heart we celebrate His infinite personal love for us. Jesus’ love made Him accept death on a cross rather than abandoning us to the evil one. To Jesus’ love: honor, praise, and thanksgiving!

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.
