Infant of Prague Feast - St. Therese Birthday – 3 Holy Masses Jan 2-4 Submit Your Intentions

Dear Friend,

In the Operation Storm Heaven email, I mentioned that January is the month of the Holy Name of Jesus, with the traditional feast day on January 2. 

The Most Holy Name of Jesus is associated with the Infant of Prague. That is why the Carmelite Order also celebrates the feast of the Infant of Prague on that same day. In fact, the Carmelite devotion to the Infant of Prague began in the 17th century in Prague, Bohemia. As Father Cyril, a Carmelite Priest, was praying before a statue of the Infant of Prague with missing arms, and was meditating on the Incarnation of Our Lord, he heard these words that came from the statue: “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.”

Since then, and throughout the centuries, a tremendous number of blessings have come to those who invoke the Infant of Prague, such as the restoration of good health, spiritual gifts of mental peace and healing, and the resolution of financial difficulties. 

January 2 is also the birthday of St. Therese of the Child Jesus and the Holy Face, also known as the Little Flower. She often appealed to Our Lord, as the Infant Jesus of Prague, to guide her.  Let us ask St. Therese to send us a “gift” - a grace, on her birthday and to ask her to intercede for us to the Child Jesus in all our needs and especially that many graces be bestowed upon our Shepherd, Cardinal Burke. 

Please submit your intentions for Three Holy Masses, from January 2-4, asking St. Therese to bring your needs to the Child Jesus. You will automatically receive three days of prayers, beginning on January 2.

Let us turn our hearts and minds to the Infant Jesus, whose kindness is ever ready to send us aid, with His outstretched little hand of mercy, He fills us with all blessings. 

Yours in the Newborn Infant King,

Thomas McKenna
