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.

  ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN AUGUST Saints celebrated on the 13th of August Marian Feast Days WELCOME! FATIMA APPARITION - AUGUST 13 The Fatima Children “BUT IN THE END MY IMMACULATE HEART WILL TRIUMPH.” But in the end my Immaculate Heart will triumph. The Holy Father will consecrate Russia to me; it will be converted, and a certain period of peace will be granted to the world. THE AUGUST 13 EVENTS On August 13, the children were in jail at Ourem. The civil administrator threatened to boil them in oil if they did not tell the Lady’s secret. Though badly frightened, they could not think of disobeying our Lady.
