    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 HONOR 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.
