A DEVOTION FOR
CHILDREN AT HEART
By Rosary Shrine of St. Jude Deacon Br. Michael Weibley, O.P.
After a destructive
invasion of Prague
in the 17th Century,
the infant Jesus
spoke to Father
Cyril, a young priest
who discovered His
battered statue in the
ruins of Our Lady of
Victory Church. He promised, “The more
you honor me, the more I will bless you.”
Today, the Dominican Friars are doing
just that at our Shrine of the Infant Jesus
of Prague at St. Mary’s Church in New
Haven, Connecticut. We bring before
Him for blessing all who have no one to
help them and who share in His infancy
– the unborn victims of abortion, the

battered and unloved, the orphaned and
the undernourished children of the world.
Your donation helps accomplish this
spiritual work of mercy!
What is remarkable about this devotion
is that in it we go to Jesus in His infancy,
in His littleness. It is way for all of us to
acknowledge that Christ came into the
world as the smallest of human beings yet
glorious in majesty. In His littleness we
can come to see our own littleness before
His great majesty, a great majesty that He
wishes to bless us with!
