Little Italy, San Diego, CA Pastor’s Corner What do you think about TV shows that specialize in major transformations? There’s Dancing With The Stars which turns famous people with two left feet into pretty decent dancers. Home renovation reality shows help families who are in dire straits from poverty or illness, and give them the dignity and joy of a renovated home. The Biggest Loser gives personal trainers to people who are obese; they work in teams, support each other, and tell stories of how their self-respect, gratitude, and love for their own bodies increases daily. What is fascinating to us is to see the miracles of “what was” become “what can be”, right in front of our eyes. Today, Jesus reveals the deepest transformation imaginable: the very cells of our bodies become transformed when we take into ourselves the “real food” of Jesus’ body, and the “real drink” of Jesus’ blood. Jesus then abides with us, and we have his eternal life. At first thought, it’s unbelievable, isn’t it? But food is our most basic requirement for life—from the moment of conception. All creatures must eat and drink, or die. However, in the case of Jesus, food is more than mere survival. When we take in Jesus’ body and blood, we’re not just “takers”—we become givers. Some people have a spirituality that is so preoccupied with taking the host, they miss the transformation into “givers.” We can’t mess around with this: we do not dare ask for Jesus in the Eucharist unless we are ready to do his work in the world. As one priest said, “If your Communion only happens in a church, then it is not Communion with our Lord Jesus Christ.” Go in peace to love and serve our God! Our Lady of the Rosary Novena to St. Anthony (June 1st – June 13th) The St. Anthony Group invites all to join them every day at 1:00 PM until the celebrations of his Feast Day, the weekend of July 13th & 14th. Feast of St. Anthony Noon Mass, Sunday, June 14th, our Parish celebrates the Feast of St. Anthony of Padua. The humble and popular Saint, who knew how to share his deep knowledge of God with his listeners and through God’s grace touched many hearts bringing them to conversion. After the Noon Mass, we will bless and distribute Saint Anthony’s Bread, a reminder to share with the poor our own poverty and need of God’s love and care. Baptism Class The next Baptism class will be this Thursday, June 11th at 6:30 PM in the St. Gianna Room of the Pastoral Center. Parents wishing to have their child baptized and confirmed adults who have been asked to be a godparent must attend this program, which is regularly offered by all the parishes.

Marriage Banns The following couples have exchanged a promise to marry in Christ: Darin DeLozier & Maria Abesa Morgan Marshall & Michelle Salatto Louis Valdez & Rosemary Sawi David Wieczorek & Heather Nguyen Background of the Liturgy Center and culmination of Christian life. Vatican II states that as a sacrifice “the holy Eucharist is the center and culmination of Christian life.” Why? 1) Because it enables us to participate in Christ’s sacrifice as a present reality and to benefit from its fruits in our own lives. 2) Because it helps us to worship the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in the most perfect way. 3) Because it strengthens our charity and unity with Him and each other in a joint offering of His body and blood to the Father. 4) Because it gives us a lasting memorial of Christ’s suffering, death and resurrection, reminding us of our obligation to make loving sacrifices for others. The Eucharist is the mystery of our faith, the mystery of our hope, the mystery of our charity. Why do we celebrate the Eucharist some 2,000 years later? We do this because Jesus told us to do so: “Do this in memory of me.” St. Augustine in the 5th century said it best when he said: “It is your mystery, the mystery of your life that has been placed on the altar.” This Holy Memorial is known by various names: 1) “The Eucharist” because Jesus offered Himself to God the Father as an act of thanksgiving. 2) “The Lord’s Supper”--or “Breaking of the Bread”--because we celebrate it as a meal. 3) “Holy Communion” because, we become one with Christ by receiving Him. 4) “Holy Mass”(holy sending), because it gives us a mission: “Go in peace to love and serve others.” Jesus chooses the meal as the sacramental sign of his union with us. Starvation -- even for a limited time -- convinces us of how dependent we are on food. Physical hunger, with its debilitating effects when prolonged, is a vivid sign of what it is like not to have God in our lives and thus to be separated, “excommunicated” from the community of believers. Just as a meal is the perfect relief from hunger, union with Jesus and the community of believers is the perfect relief for our spiritual ills. The multiplication of the loaves described in today’s gospel reminds us to ask Jesus for our daily bread. In doing so, we express solidarity with the poor and a desire to receive Christ in the Eucharist. The Eucharistic meal is the perfect sign of the satisfaction for which we hunger. This is the reason why a short fast before communion is retained as a part of the ritual action. Jesus replaces the Old Covenant with the New Covenant: Jesus instituted the Eucharist in deliberate allusion to, and fulfillment of, what happened on Mt. Sinai. He replaced Moses as the divinely chosen mediator, establishing the new covenant promised through the prophet Jeremiah (Jer 31:31-34), by using His own blood rather than that of sacrificial animals. By sacramentally consuming the body and blood of the God-Man, we, the final-age people of God, are interiorly transformed through the most perfect possible union with the divinity. Jesus creates a faithful people intimately united with God by means of His sacramental blood. The Jewish Passover is transformed into the Eucharistic celebration: Jesus instituted the sacrament of the Holy Eucharist while eating the Passover meal, the feast on which the Jews gathered annually to commemorate their ancestors’ deliverance from Egyptian slavery. This foundational event began the night God “passed over” the Israelites to punish their oppressors, who resisted His will. Israel was “saved through blood” of sacrificial lambs sprinkled on doorways. (There are some modern Bible scholars who doubt whether Jesus’ Last Supper was strictly a Passover meal because many items of the Passover meal are not mentioned). In the second half of today’s Gospel, Jesus’ words and gestures are understood as mediating fullness of salvation through blood that would be His own. That night He offered “the blood of the (new) covenant,” blood to be drunk rather than sprinkled. Moreover, since it was His own, this blood needed no further identification with the divinity by splashing against an altar. Finally, the blood was “to be poured out on behalf of the many (a Semitism for “all”).” Thus, the new and perfect Paschal Lamb accomplished for people of every nation what Mosaic sacrifices only imperfectly achieved for the Jews. Giving of both “body” as well as “blood” establishes the context of Jesus’ sacrificial death, a new covenant sealed with His blood. The sacrament and the sacrifice: Jesus instituted the Holy Eucharist during the Last Supper as a sacramental banquet and a sacrificial offering. As a sacrament, the Holy Eucharist is an outward sign in and through which we meet Jesus who shares His life of grace with us. In this Sacrament of the Eucharist, we do meet Jesus the risen Lord who comes to us under signs of bread and wine to nourish and strengthen us for our journey through life. The Eucharistic Meal is a great mystery because during the Eucharistic celebration the substance of bread and wine are converted into Jesus’ body and blood, while their appearances (or ’accidents’) remain. We believe in this transformation of bread and wine (called Transubstantiation) because Jesus unequivocally taught it and authorized his apostles to repeat it. As a sacrament, the Holy Eucharist imparts to us Jesus’ abiding presence in our souls. We share in His divine life, which is an assurance of eternal life and the basis for the conviction that we are children of God the Father. God shares His life with Jesus and with all other people. The Eucharist is the sacrament of our union with Jesus. In this sacrament, Jesus gives his own Body, broken for us on the cross and his precious Blood poured out for us, in order that our sins might be forgiven. The Eucharistic celebration is also a sacrifice because it is the re-presentation or re-living in an unbloody manner of Christ’s Death on Good Friday and of His Resurrection on Easter Sunday. By means of signs, symbols and prayers, we share in Christ’s passion, death and resurrection made really present for us in an unbloody manner. This re-presenting, this re-living of the One Sacrifice of Christ, which is the heart and point of every Mass, assures us of Jesus’ love for us and of His forgiveness of our sins. Through this sacrifice, the risen Jesus becomes present on the altar, offering himself to the Father through the ministry of the priest. Our Lady of the Rosary Page 5 Little Italy, San Diego, CA Where Are My Offertory Envelopes? OSV, who is the printer and mailer of OLR’s Offertory envelopes, had a slight error with the June/July envelopes. Some of our parishioners were sent the correct envelopes, but with the return address of another parish on the outside envelope. This confusion has led to some parishioners discarding their envelopes thinking it was something else. If this happened to you, please email Tim at [email protected] to let him know so he can report it and have another batch sent out. Thank you for your continued support of Our Lady of the Rosary!

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! Wednesday Classes with Fr.

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.
