 O Jesus, Who has said, “heaven and earth shall pass away, but My words shall not pass away,” through the intercession of Mary, Thy most holy Mother, I feel confident that my prayer will be granted.
(Mention your  request.)

(Then pray the following prayer of thanksgiving.)

I prostrate myself before They holy image, O most gracious Infant Jesus, to offer Thee my most fervent thanks for the blessings Thou hast bestowed upon me.  I shall incessantly praise Thine ineffable mercy and confess that Thou alone art my God, my Helper and my Protector.  Henceforth my entire confidence shall be placed in Thee!  Everywhere I shall proclaim aloud Thy mercy and generosity, so that Thy great love and the great deeds which Thou dost perform through this miraculous image may be acknowledged by all.  May devotion to thy Holy Infancy increase more and more in the hearts of all Christians, and may all who experience Thine assistance persevere with me in showing unceasing gratitude to Thy most holy infancy, to which be praise and glory forever. Amen.

Prayer to the Child Jesus Revealed by Our Lady to Father Cyril

O Infant Jesus, I have recourse to You and ask You through the intercession of your Holy Mother to help me in my need, (mention your need) for I firmly believe that Your Divinity can help me.    I hope, in complete trust, to obtain Your holy grace.  I love You with all my heart and with all the strength of my soul.         I am truly sorry for all my sins, and beg You, O good Jesus, to give me the strength to conquer them.  I shall never offend You and I am ready to suffer rather than to cause You pain.  From now on I want to serve You with complete faithfulness and for love of You, O Divine Child, I will love my neighbor as well as myself.  Omnipotent Child, Lord Jesus, again I implore You, help me in this need of mine (mention it).  Grant me the grace of possessing You eternally, with Mary and Joseph and of adoring You with the holy angels in Your heavenly court.  Amen.

Devotion to the Child Jesus took root among the Carmelites through the influence of  Sts. Teresa of Avila and John of the Cross in the 16th century. This statue of the Holy Child which originated in Spain was given to the Carmelites of Prague in 1628.  Miracles were soon associated with it and devotion spread through the world until this day.  Great graces are received in  honoring the Holy Child Jesus.

Holy Child Jesus of Prague, Bless Us.
