Publisher's Synopsis
Originally published in 1898, this new revised edition contains a history of the devotion, litany, novena, rosary and other traditional prayers to the Infant Jesus of Prague, and accounts of many miracles and prayers answered through this devotion. This devotion germinated in 17th century Europe and spread rapidly. It was little known in the U. S. prior to 1894 when the first English translation of a book explaining the devotion was published. The popularity of the books increased tremendously and miracles and favors granted by the Divine Infant to Americans have been abundant as they have been to Europeans. This book inspires a deeper love of Jesus Christ through the consideration of His Holy infancy. It provides hope in times of need. As a child loves it's mother, the merciful Infant Jesus loves us all and stands ready to assist all who call upon Him from their hearts: Of the Infant Jesus it has been said that "No colic is so painful, no fever so violent, no malady so dangerous, no peril so great, no tumor so malignant, no insanity so raving, no complaint so irritating, no assault of Satan so furious, no pestilence so infectious, no swelling so serious, as not to be dispelled or cured by this Blessed Child. The Holy Infant puts an end to enmities, frees prisoners, saves those who are condemned to death, brings obstinate sinners to repentance, and blesses childless parents with offspring. In short He is become all to all." (Imprimatur from the Archbishop of New York, Michael Augustine, and Nihil Obstat from the Censor Librorum, Thomas L. Kinkead).
