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 August 1, 2021 Eighteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time Welcome to St. Therese of Lisieux Catholic Church in Kenosha, Wisconsin 2

PROFILE: CATHOLIC DIOCESE of KITUI, KENYA: 2nd special collection next weekend! For many years our two have been assisting the Catholic Diocese of Kitui, Kenya by hosting a priest who has preached on the needs of the people there. Last year because of Covid no priest came; this year is the same. Instead we plan to show a video describing the needs of the diocese and take up a 2nd special collection: Please make out checks to St. Therese Church with a note “Kitui Diocese.” The Catholic Diocese of Kitui, Kenya is a mission diocese that covers over 18,750 square miles. 26 par- ishes serve over one million people. The area both arid and semi-arid; with unreliable rainfall. Poverty levels are at 70% with malnutrition at 52%. The main source of livelihood is subsistence farming: crop & livestock; but due to drought there is a frequent cycle of famine and most people are on food relief. The Kitui Diocese suffers from the Covid-19 pandemic, which has caused severe economic hardship. Bishop Joseph Mwongela of the Kitui Diocese has requested our assistance for many programs, including those that support orphans, family life ministry, and formation of seminarians/future priests.
