Everywhere we go, we see Him...
Images of the Infant of Prague are often found in Catholic churches, convents, and homes. It seems that Jesus desires to be honored through contemplation of His infancy. He is King, and yet He is so little, so humble. Below the statue it says, "The more you honor Me, the more I will bless you!"
Bringing home the Holy Infant...
After a long trip of clearly being watched and protected by the Holy Infant, it became apparent that He wanted to come home with us. We purchased the statue, which conveniently came with a vestment. He traveled well in the car cup-holder.
Starting to do some Reading...
This small booklet, "The Infant Jesus of Prague" does a pretty good job explaining the history of the original Infant Jesus statue in Prague, and goes through popular devotions, patronages, and prayers. It really comes down a few things:
-The devotion to the Infant of Prague is for everyone
-You can pray to the Infant Jesus on any occasion
-Just as He says, "The more you honor Me, the more I will bless you!"
