Pope Benedict Crowns the Infant Jesus of Prague



October 1st, 2009 by ACN-USA
 On the first stage of his apostolic journey to the Czech Republic, Pope Benedict XVI visited the celebrated image of the Infant Jesus of Prague. There, in the Church of Our Lady of Victories in the nation’s capital, he solemnly crowned this world famous image.

 International Catholic pastoral charity Aid to the Church in Need (ACN) reported that, during the ceremony, Pope Benedict XVI pronounced the following prayer:

O my Lord Jesus,
we gaze on You as a child
and believe that You are the Son of God,
who became Man through the working of the Holy Spirit
in the womb of the Virgin Mary.
Just as in Bethlehem,
we, too, adore You, with Mary, Joseph,
the angels and the shepherds,
and acknowledge You
as our only Savior.
You became poor
to enrich us with Your poverty.
Grant that we may never forget the poor
and all those who suffer.
Protect our families,
bless all the children of the world
and grant that the love You have brought us
may always reign amongst us
and lead us to a happier life.
Grant, O Jesus, that all
may recognize the truth of Your birth,
so that all may know
that You have come to bring
to the whole human family
light, joy and peace.
You are God, who live and reign with God the Father,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, forever and ever.


Amen.

From January 1957 to 1958, Our Lady's warnings came to me again and again. These are her words spoken in January 1957:


"The hour grows late. My Son's patience will not last forever. Help me hold back His anger, which is about to descend on sinful and ungrateful men. Suffering and anguish, such as never before experienced, is about to overtake mankind. It is the darkest hour. But if men will come to me, my Immaculate Heart will make it bright again with the mercy which my Son will rain down through my hands. Help me save those who will not save themselves. Help me bring once again the sunshine of God's peace upon the world."


To my spiritual director I was asked to send this message:


"Hurry, my son, for the time is short but the punishment will be long, and for many, forever.


"Tell the Bishops of the United States, my loyal sons, of my desires and how I wish them to be carried out. Through him who is head over you, make known the longings of my Immaculate Heart to establish the reign of my Divine Son in the heart of men and thus save them from the scourge of heaven, both now and hereafter"
