Introduction
Dear ardent devotees of Infant Jesus. I am Fr. Lancy Lovis hailing from Mangalore. India. I feel privileged to be the part of this Church of Infant Jesus at Prague. As I was moving in the Church one bright day, a blessed lady asked me rather a troublesome question. Pointing to the Infant Jesus' image she said, "Father, is this a miraculous statue?" I said, "My dear lady can a dumb statue perform a miracle? It is not the statue which performs the miracles but the Jesus who is in you and me who performs the miracles. This statue is just a sign of the loving presence of Jesus who still resides in our hearts.
Dear devotees, I have compiled in this book a number of miracles performed by Infant Jesus in the lives of the believers. Mark my words, I said 'believers'. It means that Jesus performs miracles even today but only in the lives of those who put their faith in Him. "Daughter your faith has made you well. Go in peace" (Lk, 8:48), said Jesus to the woman who touched the edge of his clock. Miracles were part of Jesus' public ministry. They were performed that the glory of God may be manifested.
Today as well the Jesus of faith performs miracles in our lives. But the fact is that, it needs a special miracle to recognize these daily miracles happening in our lives. We acknowledge only extraordinary miracles like, curing the sick or getting a child, but we never understand that even receiving strength to bear our sufferings and sicknesses is itself a miracle. Remember for that matter every move of ours' is a miracle dear friends.
These testimonies are compiled only with a humble desire to increase your faith in Infant Jesus and for the glory of God. Friends don't loose heart in sufferings and sickness. Learn to accept them as a will of God. If we learned to accept the struggles of our life, consider the miracle has taken place. Therefore pray to Infant Jesus Unceasingly. May Infant Jesus bless you all.
In Infant Jesus Name, Fr. Lancy Lovis OCD.

2. OUR DAUGHTER IS HEALED FROM A HIP DISPLASIA
We praise God, the Almighty that we have been preciously blessed by the Child Jesus of Prague, who has cured our daughter from a hip dysplasia. She was only four months old and was supposed to wear an orthotsis for several months or years. Through Infant Jesus we acknowledge the power of God and the intercession of Immaculate Mary. She started wearing the orthotsis on July 5th 1995 and on Oct., 12th 1995 the doctors said she wouldn't need it anymore.

3. WE WERE ABLE T0 MIGRATE
In the year 1971-1972, my family applied to migrate from India to Australia. We were not sure if we would succeed. About that time a group from our church in Bombay, India organized a weekend novena to the Infant Jesus of Prague in Nasik, India. My wife Barbara went for it. After a week or so of the novena we got the okay certificate to migrate to Australia. Thank you very much Infant Jesus of Prague.

5. HEALED FROM ACUTE BACK PAIN
My father Trwar Rebeiro and my mother Jane, both aged 76, were due to return to India on holidays on the 20th November 2002. They were looking forward to meet their friends and relatives after a long period of four and a hall years. On the 14th November my father began to suffer from serious back pain and was unable to get out of bed. They feared that they would not be able to travel and were very upset.
I came to Prague on business on the 16th of November and when I telephoned to my father from here he asked me to visit the Infant Jesus' church and say a prayer for his recovery. On the 17th I visited this church and prayed for my father. On the 18th of November my father was able to get out of bed and walk. On the 20th November he and my mother were able to fly to India.
Thank you Infant Jesus of Prague.

Over six doctors told him that he would never recover and would never walk again and would be confined to a wheel chair for the rest of his life.
