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

April 12, 2020 Easter Sunday

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

Dear Parishioners,

Happy Easter to everyone! Today we celebrate Christ’s glorious Resurrection. Jesus has conquered sin and death by

His own death and Resurrection. Sadly, this year we will not be able to celebrate Our Lord’s Resurrection as a parish

community.

As of this time, in light of directives from President Trump and Governor Evers, Archbishop Listecki has extended the

suspension of public Masses through May 3 (but this is a current estimate which could change; public Masses may re-

sume after May 3). Also, the Archbishop has granted a dispensation from attending Sunday Mass for anyone who fears

contracting the virus, through May 31.

Father McDermott and I are praying for you, and look forward to be able to celebrate public Masses once again. In the

meantime, we must be patient and make the best of this difficult situation.

Please remember that every Sunday is the Lord’s Day in which we celebrate Christ’s Resurrection; so try your best to

keep Sunday as a Holy Day, praying and worshipping God. TV Sunday Masses are on EWTN (ordinary form) on ca-

ble or through streaming services such as ROKU or through this Internet link: ewtn.com/tv/weekly-grid; also St. John

Cantius offers both the ordinary & extraordinary [Latin] form at https://www.cantius.org/go/news/detail/

live_stream_of_masses/.

We urge you to pray the Rosary daily; try to pray it together as a family, or as a married couple. Doing so will bring

you many blessings and great peace during this trying time. Pray especially for all those who are suffering from the

virus, for health care workers, and for those not working at this time.

For those who are reading this bulletin online before Easter Sunday, I’ll remind you (as I said in my letter) that on

Easter Sunday the church, decorated for Easter, will be open for prayer from 8-10am for anyone who would like to

make a visit and offer a prayer to Our Risen Lord in the Most Blessed Sacrament. Also, blessed palms will be distrib-

uted at a later time.

We have an Easter GIFT for every household - the newly-published book Consecration to St. Joseph by Fr. Donald

Calloway, MIC, in which he explains the great holiness of St. Joseph (second in holiness only to the Virgin Mary): as

the foster/virgin father of Jesus, the husband of Mary, the head of the Holy Family & the Patron of the Universal

Church, and why we should call upon him at this time to intercede for us and our families. You may pick up a copy of

this book at the parish office or at church when Masses resume.

And again, a gentle reminder: While our Masses are temporarily suspended, our bills have not ceased! We ask for your

generous support. You may bring your envelope to the church office, or mail in your donation.

Also, as I said in my letter mailed to every household (which you should have received by now), we are making avail-

able to all of our parishioners the opportunity to make your donations to the parish electronically:

If you wish to have funds electronically transferred from your bank (from either your savings account or your check-

ing account), you may do so by using the form enclosed with the letter I mailed - just fill it out and mail it to the parish.

If you would like to do an electronic funds transfer with your credit card, you can go to our website – st-therese-

kenoshoa.org, or you can use this direct link: https://st-therese-kenosha.org/donations/weekly-offertory. Thanks to

all who have kept up your contributions these past few weeks; we are most grateful!

Sincerely yours in the Hearts of Jesus, Mary & Joseph,

Fr. Dwight Campbell & Fr. Robert McDermott

Easter Wings by George Herbert (1593-1633)

Lord, who createdst man in wealth and store,

Though foolishly he lost the same,

Decaying more and more,

Till he became

Most poore:

With thee

O let me rise

As larks, harmoniously,

And sing this day thy victories:

Then shall the fall further the flight in me.

My tender age in sorrow did beginne

And still with sicknesses and shame.

Thou didst so punish sinne,

That I became

Most thinne.

With thee Let me combine,

And feel thy victorie:

For, if I imp my wing on thine,

Affliction shall advance the flight in me.

The Baker-Woman by Marie Noel (1883-1967)

The baker-woman in her humble lodge

Received the grain of wheat from God,

For nine whole months the grain she stored;

Behold the handmaid of the Lord.

Make us the bread, Mary, Mary,

Make us the bread, we need to be fed.

For thirty coins the bread was sold,

And a thousand teeth, so cold, so cold,

Tore it to pieces on a Friday noon

When the sun turned black and red the moon.

Break us the bread, Mary, Mary,

Break us the bread, we need to be fed.

But the baker-woman’s only son

Appeared to his friends when three days had run,

On the road which to Emmaus led,

And they knew him in the breaking of bread.

Lift up your heard, Mary, Mary,

Lift up your head, for now we’ve been fed.
