O Infant Jesus, sweet and mild,
         We lift our eyes to Thee,
         O Holy Little King of Prague,
         We promise to be true,
         In Thy resplendent robe and crown
         Thou rulest the land and sea
         While in Thy Hand, Thou holds the world
         And all its Destiny.
         Thou givest Thy blessings to the ones
         Who honor Thee today,
         As surely as Thy Heart is grieved
         By those who go astray.
         O Gentle Little Majesty,
         We bow before Thy feet;
         And reverently invoke Thy Name
         While humbly we entreat,
         O Infant Jesus, let us share
         The blessings Thou bestow,
         That we may tell thy miracles
         For everyone to know.

Miraculous Infant Jesus Of Prague

    Sister Josefa Menendez was a Spanish girl who, in the year 1920, entered a French Convent of the Order of The Sacred Heart of Jesus, that was founded by St. Madeleine Sophie Barat.  She died on December 29, 1923, at the age of 33, and during her short four years in the Convent she had visions of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and His most Holy Mother Mary.  (She also had visions of St. Madeleine Sophie Barat and St. John the Apostle.) The book entitled, "The Way Of Divine Love," is a story of her life and these visions.  Sister Josefa was ordered by her Superiors and also by the Sacred Heart Himself, to write down each of these visions when they occured.
    The last recorded lines in her little note-book took place on December 8, 1923, the Feast of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary.  They are of a vision she had of the Blessed Mother and are quoted as follows:

    "This evening, while I was in the Chapel, suddenly Our Blessed Lady came.  She was clothed as usual, but surrounded with dazzling light and standing on a crescent of azure blue clouds which were very airy and ethereal.  On her head she wore a long pale blue veil, transparent as gossamer, which was lost in the clouds on which her feet rested.  She was so lovely that I dared say nothing to her.  My soul melted as I gazed on her beauty.
    "At last I managed to renew my vows, and she said to me in a voice both sweet and grave: 'My child, the Church honors me today by contemplating My Immaculate Conception.  Men admire in me the wonders wrought by God, and the beauty with which He clothed me even before original sin could stain my soul.  He who is the Eternal God chose me for His Mother and overwhelmed my soul with graces greater than any bestowed on a creature.  All the beauty you see in me is a reflection of the divine perfections, and the praises given me glorify Him who, being my Creator, willed to make me His Mother.
    " 'My choicest title to glory is that of being immaculate at the same time as being Mother of God.  But my greatest joy is to add to this title that of Mother of mercy, and Mother of sinners.'
    "When she had said this she vanished, and I have not seen her again."

    Here end Josefa's notes.  In Our Lady's last statement, she, as it were, signed the divine Message given by her Son.... It was an echo of the work of love, from the lips of His Virgin Mother.... Her Immaculate Heart as Mother of Mercy and of sinners leads the world to the Sacred Heart of Him who is Love and Mercy.

    Another very interesting excerpt from this book takes place on Tuesday, June 19, 1923, as follows: Quote:
    "Josefa renewed the offering of herself for this soul so precious to Our Lord's Heart.  Emboldened by His kindness, she confided to Him her deepest aspirations.  Since He had begun to transmit to her His Message for the world, she had often questioned in prayer if souls, all souls would respond to His appeals as He hoped.  And the thought of possible heedlessness was a cruel torment to her loving heart.  Jesus, she felt, must not be subjected to such a  disappointment.
    She had been for some days anxiously trying to find a solution, but had not dared to ask Him about it.  Today, however, she could hide this trouble no longer.
    Then in a voice of such grave and majestic dignity that she could not find words to express it, Jesus answered her:
    'Have no fear, Josefa.  You know what happens when a volcano is in eruption?  So great is the force of the flowing lava, that it is capable of removing mountains and destroying them.  Do men then need to be told that a devastating power has been unloosed?  Such will be My words, accompanied by grace; a strength that will conquer even the most obdurate by love.  Society becomes perverted, when those in authority do not act according to truth and justice.   But if the ruling power knows how to govern, the majority will see and follow the light, though no doubt some will still fail to keep straight. . . . I tell you once more that grace will accompany My words and those who make them known.  Truth will triumph and peace will reign over souls and the world. . . . and My Kingdom will come!'
    Josefa was struck by the energy with which Our Lord uttered these words, her doubts were dispelled and her trust greatly reinforced.  She knew that His promises would be accomplished, and each day she realized better that nothing would be able to hinder Love's work with all its vast implications.  No opposition could finally break the impetus of divine mercy, which would soon inundate the whole world. . . ."  unquote.
    Also durig Lent of 1923 on Friday March 16, Christ told Sister Josefa, quote:  "Beloved souls, unless your eyes are turned Heavenward, you will in time become like animals that have no reason. Lift up your heads, gaze on your true fatherland which awaits you.  Seek your God.  You will find that He returns your earnest look and in His glance are peace and life." unquote.

    One thing that really stands out in this book is that God works through every day events.  Also a day is like a thousand years to God and a thousand years is like a day.  God's ways are not like our ways and our ways are not like God's ways.  When reading and studying this book a person can learn a lot about God's ways.
