THE INFANT JESUS OF PRAGUE
This wooden statue of the Infant Jesus is said to have belonged to St Teresa of Avila. In 1628, it was donated to the Carmelite friars by Princess Polyxena of Lobkowicz.
It is now venerated in the Discalced Carmelite Church of Our Lady of Victories in Prague, Czech Republic.
PRAYER TO THE INFANT OF PRAGUE
O merciful Infant Jesus, I know of Your miraculous deeds for the sick. In view of the innumerable graces and the cures granted through the veneration of Your Holy Infancy, particularly in the statue of Prague, I exclaim with the greatest assurance: O most loving Infant Jesus, You can cure me if You will! Extend Your Holy Hand and by Your Power take away all pain and infirmity! Amen.
