More pictures from Nazareth hermitage


This is one way to get the Nazareth hermitage from the village. Actually, this lad brought his donkey for treatment. Poor brother donkey wounded his foot.


As I said life is never dull here and it is full of surprises each day. I like to think that God sends these little surprised just to boost the spirits of this weak hermit.
Above is the blue hermit giving instructions for taking a medicine.


This next picture is the well for the Hermitage. I thank God daily for this convenience as we are able to use it to clean woulds, wash clothes, cook rice and water the gardens. This is our only source of water. I am praying daily for a solar pump along with some water storage tanks and towers to elevate the tanks . What a great garden could be had and woulf help in the goal toward self sufficiency. At the present time I am able to sell the lemons and limes from the hermitage trees as well as the herbs from the garden but it is does not provide enough but than God, it is enough to buy a few boxes of medicine. When I am able to buy many boxes, I am able get a good discount. The hut behind the well contains my cell and another larger room where the Chapel is located. The Blessed Sacrament is reserved in the Chapel which is such a great blessing. I am able to receive the Eucharist daily and have Eucharistic adoration several times a week. If you would like me to remember you in my prayers, send me a note and I will put your prayer request right by the tabernacle. It is a privilege to be able to serve the mystical body in ,y prayers. One thing I ask though; that you also pray for me....

Now I will start adding pictures of those who come here each day. All pictures have approval from the individual or from their parents.














Lots of folks come here with terrible toothache problems which can be temporarily relieved by using orajel (or its equivalent) and then a generic brand of motrin. This young woman came to the hermiage a few months ago.

















More to come but I must ring the Angelus and say my prayers.
God grant you all peace!
