The hermitage chapel


I thought you might like to see some pictures of the Chapel here at Nazareth Hermitage. Above is the Altar. Originally the only item in the chapel was the large wooden cross.




This is a side view of the chapel.














Looking from the other side of the chapel. The painting of Divine Mercy is a gift from a beloved friend who had this painted while stationed in Haiti.






Looking at the rear of the chapel you can see the prayer bench and the Painting of Our Lady Of Guadalupe where I sing the Salve Regina each night. The carpets on the floor were donated by a Gambian friend.


















A small shrine to the Blessed Virgin Mary with a hanging oil lamp from Turkey, donated by another friend who had been working with USAID in Kosovo.









Small shrine to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
















Since this is Nazareth Hermitage, it is dedicated to the Holy family and St. Joseph is a wonderful part of the family. What a loving, consecrated, obedient, humble man. St. Joseph is the model for all Brothers and hermits.















Saint Martin de Poores is a special friend and a role model for me as I care of the sick. This small statue is in the rear of the chapel.













I hope you enjoyed these pictures of the chapel. There will be more pictures of the medical work tomorrow.
