The Italian Parish of Indianapolis

B envenuto! Welcome to Holy Rosary

Church! Whether you are a lifelong

parishioner, a first-time visitor to our

parish, or someone in between, we

are grateful you have joined us today.

Founded in 1909 as the Italian Parish of

Indianapolis, we continue to serve as

the parish home of people of Italian

heritage and also embrace all Catholics

in union with Rome, including those

devoted to the Traditional Latin Mass

(Extraordinary Form) and the Anglican

Usage of the Roman Rite.

In the words of our founding pastor,

Msgr. Marino Priori:

“The church is the temple of the

Lord, the gate of heaven. Come after a

week of earthly cares, after so much

toil, after so many sorrows, after so

much pain. Rest your limbs. Regenerate

your spirit at the sources of grace.

Raise your mind to God; thank Him for

the benefits received through His

creation and in daily life; ask for

strength so you can win all of life’s

struggles, and be able to possess the

fruits of redemption.”

Announcements

Please pray for the repose of the soul of Anthony

Mullen, the national director of the Flame of Love

movement. He died last Saturday while visiting Indi-

anapolis; he had been at Holy Rosary on March 6 to

speak to parishioners and Lumen Christi students.

May his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed

rest in peace.

We will take up a second collection every Sunday

throughout Lent. This weekend’s will help offset the

costs of the parish’s FORMED subscription. Next

weekend’s is for the Holy Places in the Holy Land.

The parish office will be closed Monday for the

Feast of St. Joseph.

Palm Sunday is next weekend. Depending on

weather, all Masses will begin with the Blessing of

Palms in either the courtyard or in Priori Hall. The

Anglican Use will start at 7:30 a.m., one-half hour

earlier than usual.

Our liturgical schedule for the Paschal Triduum

and Easter Sunday is on Page 5.

Archbishop Thompson will be here to confer the

Sacrament of Confirmation in the Extraordinary

Form on Sunday, April 8, at 5:30 p.m. This will be a

confirmation service only, NOT a Mass; therefore, it

will not fulfill one’s obligation to attend Sunday

Mass. A reception for the confirmandi and their

families and sponsors will follow the service. All

confirmandi must meet with the archbishop at 4

p.m. in our second-floor classroom for questions

and preparation.

We will pray the Way of the Cross on Fridays of

Lent after the 7:30 a.m. and 5:45 p.m. Masses.

We are in need of teen and adult volunteers to help

clean and polish our brassware on Saturday, March

24, beginning at 9 a.m. Even those who can provide

only a couple of hours of labor are encouraged to

join us. This is an excellent way to get involved in

parish life and to meet other parishioners. Please

meet in our first-floor classroom, accessed via the

glass doors on the right (east) side of the courtyard.

The parish High School Youth Group meets today

for a St. Joseph’s Day party (Sunday) from 6 p.m. to

8 p.m. in our first-floor classroom. The group will

feast on City BBQ and play Stump the Priest.

Please pray for our sick and shut-in friends:

Debbie Barry, John Caito, Verna Carr, Katie Cecil,

Son Hui Christensen, Sharon Conrad, Carol Craig,

Nancy Duffy, Annette Dybas, Paquita Fallas, Jody

Gassert, Sam Gorsage, Robert Hanaway, Greg Latz,

Navarra, Nathan Oliver, Linda Sweatland, Phil

Vierneisel, Sister Rita Vukovic, Fr. James Wilmoth

The 40 Days for Life prayer vigil continues

through March 25. Holy Rosary parishioners have

been asked to pray outside the Planned Parenthood

facility at 8590 Georgetown Road especially on Sat-

urdays from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. Members of our

W hen you came into church this weekend, the

statues were covered. The Fifth week of Lent

until the Triduum is known as Passiontide. During

these last days of Lent we are to keep our hearts and

souls tied to the Lord in His Passion.

So why do we veil statues? Statues are veiled to

help us realize what it would be like NOT to have the

fruits of the Passion and Resurrection of Jesus.* Had

our Lord not died and rose from the grave, there

would be no saints, no images of the Passion, no im-

ages of the Sacred Heart. Looked upon on a regular

basis, these images become “normal” and taken for

granted. We veil them to emphasize how good they

are. By taking them away, we appreciate their good-

ness in a new way.

The cross will be unveiled at the celebration of our

Lord’s Passion on Good Friday. The liturgy that day

calls for the cross to be unveiled, then for the people

to come forward and venerate it, traditionally by a

kiss.

The other images of saints and our resurrected Lord

remain veiled until the Easter Vigil. Traditionally

celebrated after dark on Holy Saturday, the Easter

Vigil is our ancient anticipation of and celebration of

the Resurrection. The statues are unveiled then be-

cause the Resurrection brings them meaning. The

Resurrection opens the doors of heaven and allows

the saints to live in Glory.

In our Catholic Tradition we veil things that are

good, beautiful, mysterious and life-giving: chalices,

tabernacles, statues and even girls on their first com-

munion and brides on their wedding day. May we

enter into this mystery with eyes and hearts open.

Appunti del Parroco: a Message from the Pastor

Why do we veil the statues during Passiontide?

* Throughout Lent we experience a series of increasing sacramental deprivations: We are deprived of the Alleluia beginning

on Ash Wednesday; we are deprived of the Gloria during Lent except for Solemnities; we are deprived of the crucifix and stat-

ues at the start of Passiontide; we are deprived of Holy Water during the Triduum; finally, we are deprived of the Lord Him-

self in the Blessed Sacrament and the celebration of Holy Mass on Good Friday and Holy Saturday. All are restored in glori-

ous fashion — solemnly and progressively — during the Easter Vigil: first the statues, then the Gloria, then the Alleluia, then

the Holy Water, finally the Holy Eucharist — so many treasures in the sacred liturgy that we come to appreciate more keenly

this holy time of year.

Pick of the Week

Ready Reasons:

Is the Holy Spirit the

Same as ‘the Force’?

This three-minute video from Catholic Answers debunks the he-retical idea of a universal, imper-sonal force, which is how some quasi-Christian groups describe the Holy Spirit.

I f any house should be found

where there was no monk who

was troublesome and of a bad dispo-

sition, it would be well to look for

one, and to pay him at a high rate for

the great good that results from this

evil when judiciously managed. — St. Bernard

Are you ready for Divine Mercy Sunday?

S t. Faustina learned from Je-

sus to trust in Him. Fr. Ignacy

Różycki, the Polish theologian who

examined St. Faustina’s diary for

her cause of canonization, said,

“This trust is self-surrender that

sets the believer free from cares

of life and death. This trust, to be

genuine, implies and contains the

desire to love God by loving our

neighbor in the deeds of Mercy.”

St. Paul says, “The life of good

deeds God has prepared for us in advance.” (Eph.

2:10). Continue praying the Chaplet of Divine Mercy.

We will conduct a special Divine Mercy Service here

on Sunday, April 8, at 3 p.m.

PRAYER OF ST. AUGUSTINE

L ord Jesus, let me know

myself and know You,

And desire nothing, save only

You.

Let me hate myself and love

You.

Let me do everything for the

sake of You.

Let me humble myself and

exalt You.

Let me think of nothing except You.

Let me die to myself and live in You.

Let me accept whatever happens as from You.

Let me banish self and follow You,

And ever desire to follow You.

Let me fly from myself and take refuge in You,

That I may deserve to be defended by You.

Let me fear for myself, let me fear You,

And let me be among those who are chosen by You.

Let me distrust myself and put my trust in You.

Let me be willing to obey for the sake of You.

Let me cling to nothing, save only to You,

And let me be poor because of You.

Look upon me, that I may love You.

Call me, that I may see You,

And forever enjoy You. Amen.
