Fr. Cyril prayed before the statue. He was filled with wonder
as he contemplated the God who became a child out of love for his people. Suddenly the
statue spoke to the stunned Carmelite:
"HAVE MERCY ON ME AND I WILL HAVE MERCY ON YOU. GIVE ME HANDS
AND I WILL GIVE YOU PEACE. THE MORE YOU HONOUR ME, THE MORE I WILL BLESS
YOU".
For almost four centuries this promise has inspired devotion
and love Of the Infant Jesus. The original statue is preserved in the church of Our Lady
of Victory in Prague.
Devotion to the Infant Jesus celebrates the great mystery of
the Incarnation. We acknowledge the humanity and the divinity of Christ, and we rejoice in
God's caring love for us. He waits for our visit to shower us
with His Divine and Eternal Love. " I Thirst"
This Novena prayer is to be said at the same time every hour for nine hours
PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING
is not obliged to be said as part of the Novena , but is pleasing to Infant
Jesus.
