Miraculous Prayer to the Little Flower

O Little flower of Jesus, ever con-soling troubled souls with heavenly graces, in our unfailing interces-sions I place my confident trust. From the heart of our Divine Savior, petition the blessings of which I stand in greatest need..............Shower upon me your promised roses of virtue and grace, Dear St. Therese, so that swiftly advancing in sanctity and perfect love of neighbor, I may someday receive the crown of life eternal. Amen

November 17, 2019 Thirty-Third Sunday in Ordinary Time

Welcome to St. Therese of Lisieux Catholic Church in Kenosha, Wisconsin 2

Scenes from the Holy Land

We went to the top of Mount Left: Fr. Campbell in the St. Therese chapel

Carmel where the Prophet Elijah in the Church of Stella Maris (Mary Star

slew the 400 false prophets of of the Sea) at the top of Mount Carmel

Baal, and where the Carmelite Below: outside Mass, Mount of Beatitudes

monks later built a chapel in honor

of Our Lady of Mount Carmel.

We also went to the top of Mount

Tabor where Our Lord took Peter,

James & John and was transfigured

before them, appearing with both

Moses and the Prophet Elijah. The

photo below is the dome inside the

Church of the Transfiguration.

Above: where the body of Jesus was laid before being

placed in the tomb, in the Church of the Holy Sepulcher.

Our first stop was in Jordan at Mount Nebo, where Moses and the Israelites

overlooked the Promised Land before entering into it. Moses died on

Mount Nebo, but no one knows where his body was buried. Joshua then led

the Chosen People into the Promised Land, attacking the City of Jericho,

where they marched around the city for seven days, and on the seventh day

the walls came tumbling down.

At left is a photo of a number of our group on top of Mount Nebo, standing

next to an enlarged image of the bronze seraph serpent which Moses held

high so that anyone who looked at it would not die after being bitten by the

seraph serpents. The bronze serpent is an image of Christ crucified.
