money, young women around the world are

...So God was god of old:
A mother came to mould
Those limbs like ours which are
What must make our daystar
Much dearer to mankind;
Whose glory bare would blind
Or less would win man’s mind.
Through her we may see him
Made sweeter, not made dim,
And her hand leaves his light
Sifted to suit our sight.
Be thou then, O thou dear
Mother, my atmosphere
My happier world, wherein
To wend and meet no sin;
Above me, round me lie
Fronting my froward eye
With sweet and scarless sky;
Stir in my ears, speak there
Of God’s love, O live air,
Of patience, penance, prayer:
World-mothering air, air wild,
Wound with thee, in thee isled,
Fold home, fast fold thy child.
— Gerard Manley Hopkins, S.J., “The Blessed Virgin Mary Compared
to the Air We Breathe”
I n May we honor The Blessed Virgin
Mary. It is helpful to remember that we do
so — and we honor the saints in general —
because the saints make visible the invisible
Grace of God (the very Love of God) in their
lives. When they say “yes” to God and em-
brace His will, we see and experience God in
their actions and prayers.
Nowhere is this truer than in the life of the
Blessed Virgin Mary. When she said yes to
God, He became flesh in her womb.
The air around us makes not only tolerable
but even pleasurable the rays of the sun,
which otherwise would be too bright to see
much less to live in. Likewise, Holy Mary
makes visible to us in her womb the Son of
God, and so it is with all of the saints.
Trivia Night a big success
I want to thank all of those involved in any
way with last weekend’s Trivia Night at Holy
Rosary. We had 17 tables of people partici-
pating and thousands of dollars more in dona-
tions associated with the event. The proceeds
will benefit the rectory project.
I extend a special thanks to all of our spon-
sors: Doug & Maret Cline; Grandview Lend-
ing; Heidi Pops; Indy Pro Builders; Kerry
Essentials, LLC; Lauck & Veldhof; Magnifi-
cat Family Medicine; Mainscape; and Vince
& Linda Gatto — VLTR Properties.
While it will be a couple of weeks before
the final numbers are calculated, you will see
the Rectory Fund piggy bank in the bulletin
continue to fill as the money is accounted
for.
Monsignor Schaedel did a marvelous job as
Master of Ceremonies, and Vince Gatto —
with the help of his kitchen crew — provided
a fantastic dinner. Likely, we will work to
make this an annual event so everyone can
look forward to having another great time.
God bless!
Appunti del Parroco: a Message from the Pastor
Why we honor the Blessed Mother in May
5
T he greeting of the Risen Christ to His
disciples on the evening of Easter,
“Peace be with you!” (John 20:19), continues
to resound in us all. Peace, especially during
this Easter season, remains the desire of so
many people who suffer unprecedented vio-
lence of discrimination and death simply be-
cause they bear the name “Christian.” Our
prayer is all the more intense and becomes a
cry for help to the Father, who is rich in
mercy, that He may sustain the faith of our
many brothers and sisters who are in pain. At
the same time, we ask for the grace of the
conversion of our own hearts so as to move
from indifference to compassion.
Saint Paul reminds us that we have been
saved through the mystery of the death and
resurrection of the Lord Jesus. He is the Rec-
onciler, who is alive in our midst offering the
way to reconciliation with God and with each
other. The Apostle recalls that, notwithstand-
ing the difficulties and the sufferings of life,
the hope of salvation which Christ has sown
in our hearts nonetheless continues to
grow. The mercy of God is poured out upon
us, making us just and giving us peace.
Many question in their hearts: why a Jubilee
of Mercy today? Simply because the Church,
in this time of great historical change, is
called to offer more evident signs of God’s
presence and closeness. This is not the time to
be distracted; on the contrary, we need to be
vigilant and to reawaken in ourselves the ca-
pacity to see what is essential. This is a time
for the Church to rediscover the meaning of
the mission entrusted to her by the Lord on
the day of Easter: to be a sign and an instru-
ment of the Father’s mercy (cf. John 20:21-
23). For this reason, the Holy Year must keep
alive the desire to know how to welcome the
numerous signs of the tenderness which God
offers to the whole world and, above all, to
those who suffer, who are alone and aban-
doned, without hope of being pardoned or
feeling the Father’s love. A Holy Year to ex-
perience strongly within ourselves the joy of
having been found by Jesus, the Good Shep-
herd who has come in search of us because
we were lost. A Jubilee to receive the warmth
of His love when He bears us upon His shoul-
ders and brings us back to the Father’s
house. A year in which to be touched by the
Lord Jesus and to be transformed by His
mercy, so that we may become witnesses to
mercy.
Here, then, is the reason for the Jubilee: be-
cause this is the time for mercy. It is the fa-
vorable time to heal wounds, a time not to be
weary of meeting all those who are waiting to
see and to touch with their hands the signs of
the closeness of God, a time to offer everyone
the way of forgiveness and reconciliation.
May the Mother of God open our eyes, so
that we may comprehend the task to which
we have been called; and may she obtain for
us the grace to experience this Jubilee of
Mercy as faithful and fruitful witnesses of
Christ.

‘Why a Jubilee of Mercy today?’ Pope Francis has declared an extraordinary Jubilee Year of Mercy from Dec. 8, 2015, to Nov. 20,
2016. The bull of indiction, Misericordiae Vultus, was issued April 11, the eve of Divine Mercy Sun-
day. He explained his reasoning for the Jubilee Year’s declaration in a vespers homily that evening:
