🎂 🥳 Who can say they've celebrated their birthday in the Holy Land? Deacon Cyprian Kramer can! We celebrated his birthday on our last pilgrimage day with a beautiful cake and lots of best wishes.

What an unbelievable, wonderful trip! We are so blessed to have made this pilgrimage and walked where Our Lord walked, prayed, and suffered. It was the trip of a lifetime and we are incredibly grateful.

Thank you for all your prayers for a safe and holy pilgrimage! We are flying home today and will carry these unforgettable memories in our hearts forever.

We thank our chaplain, Father Thomas Asher, and the six deacons from St. Thomas Aquinas Seminary who made this a most special and unique trip!

Deo gratias! 🙏🏻❤️

The climax of our Pilgrimage to the Holy Land & Jordan was our visit to the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem, the burial place of Our Lord. The 12th-century structure is located on the traditional site of Golgotha, where Our Lord was crucified and buried.

A Greek Orthodox altar stands directly over the rocky outcrop on which the cross of Christ stood. The rock can be seen under protective glass on both sides of the altar, and it can be touched through a hole under the altar.

As there were very few visitors, we were able to kneel and pray at this holy site at leisure, without being hurried along!

We prayed for all our intentions and yours, and we asked Our Lord to help us meditate and pe*****te the incredible mystery of His love for us. May we always return His love and help lead other souls to Him, with His grace!

Deo gratias for a most beautiful and blessed pilgrimage!

Visiting the Baptismal Site of Our Lord on the Jordan River is always such a special experience. The surrounding barren wilderness makes it easy to imagine St. John the Baptist preaching and baptizing here. 🙏🏻

16/01/2025

Yesterday, we visited the brand-new Catholic church at the baptismal site of Our Lord (Jordan side of the Jordan River), which is the largest Catholic Church now in the Middle East.

The Church of the Baptism of the Lord was constructed thanks to donations from the Hungarian government and other benefactors, and it can hold more than 1,000 people.

14/01/2025

One of today's visits was to the Church of St. Peter in Gallicanctu, where St. Peter denied Our Lord, and the Palace of Caiaphas, where Our Lord was imprisoned.

The church takes its name from the Latin word “Gallicantu”, meaning c**k’s crow. This is in commemoration of St. Peter’s triple rejection of Jesus “... before the c**k crows twice.” (Mark 14:30)

The current shrine dedicated to St. Peter’s repentance was erected on this spot in 1931. A golden rooster protrudes prominently from the sanctuary roof in honor of its biblical connection. This spot is also believed to be the location of the High Priest Caiaphas’ palace.

Little remains of Caiaphas’ palace, but the dungeons beneath it are terrible in their completeness and the grisly story they tell. Roughly hewn out of bedrock and separated by arches and pillars, there are holes chiseled through the arched tops so the prisoners’ hands could be manacled above their heads while being beaten. At the time of Christ, it is said that there was only one entrance to the prison complex: through a portal in the floor. Even today, with electric lights and ventilation, the walls are cold and dank. One can only imagine the dark horror of the hours Our Lord spent in the cells beneath Caiaphas’ house.

Prayer to Imitate the Suffering Christ

O Jesus, You have called me to suffer because You on Your part suffered for me, leaving me an example that I might follow. When You were insulted, You did not return the insult. When You were mistreated, You did not counter with threats but entrusted Yourself to the One Who judges justly. By Your wounds we are healed. Help me to imitate You in suffering. Amen.

What an incredible day! As today's final stop, we had the honor and privilege of meeting with His Excellency, Bishop William Shomali, the auxiliary bishop for the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, Cardinal Pierebattista Pizzaballa. We presented the bishop with two small statuettes of Our Lady and the Christ-Child, one for him and one for the Cardinal. The statuettes were handmade in St. Marys, Kansas by Audria K. of Crowned Earth Studio. We also had the great grace to celebrate a private Mass there.

The Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem includes the territories of Cyprus, Jordan, Palestine, and Israel. Bishop Shomali has been auxiliary bishop of the Patriarchate since 2010, and he assists Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, the current Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem.

How special! Deo gratias!

Father Asher celebrated Mass today for our pilgrimage group at the Church of the Visitation in Ein Karem, Israel. 🙏🏻

This is the site where Tradition tells us that Our Lady recited her song of praise, the Magnificat. (Luke 1:46-55)

Enjoying a Jordanian meal on our Pilgrimage to the Holy Land & Jordan!

Greetings from Petra in Jordan! It was given this modern name of "petra", meaning “rock” in Greek and Latin, because the city was carved from the sandstone cliffs of the area. It was an important city, and the main city of an ancient people called the Nabataens. Lying in the center of ancient caravan trade routes, Petra benefited from the resulting commerce.

The Nabateans founded Petra around the 6th century BC and ruled over it until 100 AD, when the Romans conquered Petra. An earthquake in 363 AD devastated Petra and destroyed its waterworks. Petra lay in ruins until the 12th century, when the Crusaders occupied it and built a citadel there. After the Crusaders left, Petra was left to its native inhabitants, and today its ruins are an extraordinary World Heritage Site.

We absolutely loved today's visit!

Spectacular views of the valley of Wadi Araba from the Monastery of Petra! Well worth climbing the 800 steps! At least it isn't hot out. 😄

09/01/2025

Today's visit to the Old City of Petra was amazing! But we were exhausted from all the walking we did, especially from climbing the 800 steps to the monastery! So worth it!

Today in Petra, we walked through the “Siq,” an immense crack in the Nubian sandstone, which according to tradition, is the spot where Moses struck a rock with his staff and water came forth.

"And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: Take the rod, and assemble the people together, thou and Aaron thy brother, and speak to the rock before them, and it shall yield waters. And when thou hast brought forth water out of the rock, all the multitude and their cattle shall drink. Moses therefore took the rod, which was before the Lord, as he had commanded him, And having gathered together the multitude before the rock, he said to them: Hear, ye rebellious and incredulous: Can we bring you forth water out of this rock? And when Moses had lifted up his hand, and struck the rock twice with the rod, there came forth water in great abundance, so that the people and their cattle drank, And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron: Because you have not believed me, to sanctify me before the children of Israel, you shall not bring these people into the land, which I will give them." (Numbers 20:7-12)

Our pilgrimage chaplain, Father Asher, poses with four deacons from St. Thomas Aquinas Seminary in front of the famous Al Khazneh Treasury, one of the most elegant remains of antiquity! Nearly 2,000 years ago, the Nabateans carved a city out of the rose red rock here in Jordan. It's incredible!

09/01/2025

Mingling at the end of the first day of our Holy Land & Jordan Pilgrimage! Can't wait for tomorrow. We will be visiting Petra!

08/01/2025

After visiting Mount Nebo, we visited Montreal Castle in Jordan, built by the Crusaders and expanded by the Mamluk Empire. The castle ruins are near the modern town of Shoubak in Jordan.

We also toured the Monastery of St. George in Madaba, Jordan, and admired a 6th-century mosaic floor map of the Holy Land, which includes Israel, Palestine, and Southern Egypt.

A beautiful day for these amazing visits!

Gazing at the Sea of Galilee and knowing that what you see is what Our Lord himself saw, is an indescribable and deeply uplifting experience. No wonder Our Lord and His Apostles loved this place. Its peace and serenity sooth the soul and lift our minds to God. If you've never experienced it, you must add it to your to do list! There is nothing like it. #seaofgalilee #galilee #holyland #reginapilgrimages #sspx #fsspx #sspxpilgrimage #holylandpilgrimage

Happy feast of Christ the King! Christ is King of all nations! After a Solemn High Mass and a beautiful procession through the town, we celebrated today's feast day at our annual festival here in St. Mary's, Kansas. Parishioners came together and helped set up booths representing countries around the world, displaying information on saints, Marian devotions, and other Catholic heritage of each country. There were delicious typical foods, live entertainment, and lots of games and fun for the whole family! After the festival, we had vespers in the Immaculata Church. The gorgeous weather made for an absolutely glorious day. Viva Cristo Rey!! #christtheking #vivacristorey #saintmaryskansas #reginapilgrimages #sspxpilgrimages #sspx #fsspx

Union Pacific Railroad's Big Boy steam locomotive traveled west across northeast Kansas today. The massive Big Boy No. 4014 is the last steam locomotive built for Union Pacific in 1944, and it is the world's largest operating steam locomotive. We felt its heat and power as it flew by! #bigboylocomotive #unionpacific #unionpacificrailroad #unionpacificbigboy #Kansas #reginapilgrimages

Tonight's Rosary Procession in Saint Mary’s, Kansas was attended by thousands of faithful: young and old, large families, priests, religious Brothers and Sisters.

The most famous feature of Prague's Old Town Hall is the astronomical clock, first built in the 1400s. It consists of three independent units: the moving figures, the astronomical dial, and the calendar dial. The figures come out every hour for the joy and amazement of the tourists! #prague #czechrepublic🇨🇿 #clockprague #pragueclock #fsspx #sspx #sspxpilgrimage #reginapilgrimages
