A TESTIMONY FROM MY SIDE :
==========================
Looking back it was winter closing in Dec’1999, Christmas was setting in &every one was eagerly waiting for Y2K excitement; as the word was out of computers crashing by the segments from the nerd circle. All over the world the town was painted red with rumbling of voices & watchdogs as time was ticking into the year 2000 with bated breath to witness the song & dance of programs
going down the drain due to sheer breakdown of systems……………..
I had called my ex-colleague Manish from Sky-tec Computers & he disclosed to me about his solo trip to Bangalore. He said he was a bit tensed as he would be traveling alone & that too for the first time in his life!! I quickly showed my eagerness to join him as I liked traveling places without having the slightest
notion that the trip to Bangalore would open the doors to the world of Faith & Love……
Travel from Bombay-Bangalore was tiring & we finally heaved a sign of relief on reaching Kalasipalyam bus stand. We were greeted ith smoke of pollution & earpierce honking of traffic loud & clear.
We headed straight to Brigade Towers where Mediline Computers operations were based & which later led me to the Eve of my life.It has been rightly said that life is a journey to be explored & exploited at one’s will with acceptance of thrills & misses & eventually getting the opportunity to horn individual skills &
attitude to the myriad influx of happenings in the wide spectrum that we call our planet Earth.
Our stay in Bangalore was for a brief period of 10 days that got a further extension of a week due to bottlenecks in the project that my pal Manish had to complete at Bill’s Micro-soft Corporation.
In the few days of my stay; got a glimpse of the city around & found it simply as a cousin of Bombay or the erstwhile Delhi. Bangalore has a green environment & soothing climatic conditions; going further down you can do sightseeing at Vidhan Soudha & botanical garden, among the various other sites to be caught in the naked eye of the camera.
During our visit to Mediline office we encountered a well-groomed dusky girl, who greeted us with her laughing eyes and gave us a formal introduction. She seemed composed & quite sober by nature & her
talking accent. I found her simple & good looking & seemed quite ambitious in general of work & attitude towards life. In my subsequent visit to Mediline, quite often on & out I would talk to her & gradually
broke the ice of conversation between us. Since it was my first time;I put in a request that I wanted to visit a place worth seeing before I departed from Bangalore & finally she succumbed to my plea. I found
her quite accommodating by behavior & she promised to take me to a place of her choice to serve my purpose.
The day finally arrived for our visit & in a jiffy we both got in a rickshaw as she spoke fluently in Kannada to the driver & still I did not know where I was going as Kannada was Greek to me! In a few moments
she disclosed to me that we were on our way to Viveknagar not much of a furlong from Brigade Towers. On reaching our destination she paid for the fare – as I was no match for her words & face Next moment I was entering one of the prominent place of worship adored by public at large from Karnataka. Yes she took me to the Shrine of Infant Jesus-a place I will never forget in my entire life till I breathe my last.
Before walking into the shrine, we decided to put an offering of candles & a garland of flowers. To my utter disbelief she again persisted with her words & gentleness as to about footing the payment. I was amazed for the moment that a girl of her stature had a knack of cutting me off so sweetly & that also on two occasions. To be honest & frank she won my heart by her act of goodness & simplicity. As we were entering the shrine, she made a important statement towards me; You can ask whatever you want from this shrine!! I was a bit taken back & didn’t really give a thought
to it. After paying in my due respects to Infant Jesus I knelt down to pray; & in that moment her words boomerang into my mind. Of all the things that I could have asked for namely wealth, health, fame, fortune etc I realized that she had opened her heart to an unknown person with whatever she could offer & within a short notice made a mark for her self within
my inner core conscience.
Without battling an eyelid I very much asked for her !!! I had the gut feeling that we had clicked mentally & she would give me all the happiness
of the world as her inner beauty was skin deep & only a close observation could tell that she was more beautiful in her thoughts & actions than her external conditioning & I was on my way to discover LOVE. She rang a loud bell in my heart ; I had fallen in love within a fraction of her nature. She stole my heart by her grace of eloquence & down to earth persona. I had
found the unexpected; YES I had discovered my better half in the midst of the holy shrine Infant Jesus !!
After we got out I was quiet & hesitant to let her know what had transpired within those short moments inside the holy shrine. I thanked her & we were
soon on our way back to office. My pal had another couple of days to finish the project & would soon be leaving back for Bombay. The thought was always
back on my mind as to the wish I had put forward at the Infant Jesus shrine hoping that I would translate the same into a reality as soon as possible; yet destiny had another role to play for me on the darker side of my life.
On reaching Bombay in the 2nd week of Jan 2000 I thought of paying a visit to my elder brother Anthony who stayed at Palghar on the outskirts of Bombay
before my departure to Bahrain. So I planned my visit on Saturday night so that I could travel back home the next day being a Sunday. That day turned out one of the blackest day of my life; as we decided to go out on his two-wheeler for a short excursion as I had gone there for the first time. The journey nearly spelled our doom & ended with sheer shock which had far
reaching effects on our family including myself for years together……..
Till today that day spins a mystery to me; as I really don’t know what happened. The only recollection I have is that Anthony was driving & I was besides him; the last I saw the time on my watch was nearing 15.45 pm
& the next moment I am back to senses around 17.45 pm & on my way in a stretcher to a nearby local hospital. It had slowly dawn on me that something
terrible had taken place & amidst the confusion I was looking for Anthony. When the doctor came to bandage me I asked him what happened ? & he replied
that we had met with an accident!! I also did not realized that my left leg femur had broken & made a futile attempt to get up; & to my utter astonishment
I was in terrible pain & could see the movement of my broken femur. It was a great shock when I realized that I could not walk. Blood was oozing from my ear & bruises all over my hand. I had undergone the journey
to the world of the dead for almost 2 hours after the accident as the pain eluded me into seclusion. A divine spark from the Almighty had brought light into my dwindling senses. I was quiet lost when I opened my eyes as the sky above me was staring at me .I was very much dumbfounded. My brother condition was more serious as he was still unconscious……………….
Within a short span we were on our way to a city hospital (almost 2 hours drive) at Sion, hospital i.e. suburbs of Bombay. I began praying for my brother in the ambulance all the way to the hospital so that he could receive immediate treatment.On reaching the hospital I parted from my brother as he was taken to the trauma ward, & that was last time I would ever see him again in my life… My stay in the hospital lasted almost a month & was soon to be operated on my broken femur with a metallic rod to support my body balance. All through my stay at the hospital it gave me hope that God had taken care of Anthony & heard my prayers. It was a consolation to me & my pain really did not matter to me. I was prepared for the operation without any encumbrance from my end. I had mentally prepared myself to accommodate an alien a metal in my left leg since I had to walk ahead in life…to get my stride & bestow all my love to the girl who stole my heart……….
The operation turned out a success & again I owe my token of thanks to the Almighty & to Dr. Mihir & his team led by Dr. Patankar at Sion hospital. The
aftermath & ordeal of the operation cannot be simply put into words & every moment I was keen on reaching home. I realized that pain in life which is simply
unbearable teaches one humility ; that’s what it did to me. I eagerly enquired about Anthony at home; & soon another setback was in stored. With great difficulty Mom disclosed to me that Anthony had breath his last before he could receive any medical attention! The news left the ground beneath my feet; shook my mental balance & the confidence on the High Power, as we understand him the Almighty. I disliked every moment of my existence & challenged with God for his will……………….
For days together I battle within my thoughts & the Almighty to give one good reason for the wrath he had inflicted on our family. To my amazement, the Almighty
had spared my life & I had no answers for his acts. Yet in those sleepless nights I recalled back my time & journey to Bangalore. My thoughts went back to my last travel before the mishap & the visit to the shrine. My face lit up with a ray of light at the end of the tunnel ; I decided to make a dash for my Love mentally lying in bed with a broken leg!!
Immediately I took a pen & paper & wrote a letter at her office addredd & recounted the state of affairs at my end. What really inspired me to write was the
confidence I saw in her face & words, which she uttered at Infant Jesus shrine just a week prior to my road mishap. I made a sincere effort to communicate to
her. I honestly did not know about her reaction towards my letter yet felt I had done my share of writing to her. Almost nearing a month she reverted back with a Get Well card!! Yes I was taken back & there was a supporting letter conveying her thoughts. Her response gave me hope & the weight of the accident & metal fell off my shoulder. Yet the time was not ripe to tell her what had really taken place at the shrine considering the fact that I was bed-ridden………….
It took me another 4 months to leave out my crutches & walk independently on my own to which Almighty grace did the needful & I was gradually recovering. Our
communications later on switched to emails & were constantly in touch with each other. In the mean time, my job opening for Bahrain stayed on & my sponsor
Mr. M.F.Bhatia decided to wait for me & I am till today grateful for his consideration towards my condition.
In a couple of months I was schedule to leave for Bahrain for employment & I finally decided to share my feelings with her as to how much I really adored
her. I proposed my love to her & she hesitated to my move; yet wanted to see me in Bangalore ; in one of my mails I had disclosed to her as to what really had
transpired during our visit at the shrine. As I was schedule to travel south of Madras – Our Lady of Vailankanni shrine to fulfill my vow as on the bedside of the hospital on one of the nights when I was in awful agony I prayed that my first visit on walking would be a trip to Her Shrine ….so I undertook my journey & thanked Our Lady for restoring my stride, as all good health springs from her blessings. I also decided that I would see her before departing to Bahrain. We did meet each other in mid Jun, 2000 & she agreed voluntarily to my proposal as to wait & watch since neither her parents were aware of it. I gave my positive consent to her decision & came back for my travel overseas.
My trip to Bahrain turned out the best of me in spite of health conditions & soon a year elapsed. I made a trip back to Bombay, Madras & Bangalore. In other 6 months I came back for my operation to India & once again duly met her. While meeting her in June 2002 she agreed to take me to Harihar to visit the holy shrine of Our Lady of Health on the outskirts of Bangalore. It was a long trip & she accompanied me all the was through it. YES she has a heart of GOLD!! as she had the patience to come along with me. After reaching at
the shrine I knelt down to pray for the success of my operation & in the next week got myself operated for the removal of the metal. The operation once again
turned out a success & my token of thanks to Dr Patankar & his team & above all for grace of Almighty & Our Lady. After the operation I began to walk again
& undertook once again my trip back to Bahrain successfully.
I also want to thank the support I received from my family & friends especially my Mom who always encouraged me to walk again & my well wisher & very close pal Amit Khetan who supported my cause. During the critical phase of my accident & subsequent recovery I got to witness the grace of Our Lady in the
form of Vailankanni-Madras, Perpetual Succour-Bombay & Harihar-Karnataka. You approach her in the time of your need & she will make your path straight;
trust with all your heart & lean not on your understanding for faith is sure of what we hope for & certain of what we do not see. I also add for the timely grace received from St.Dominic Savio whose medal I wore on the day of the fatal accident & saving me from near death…….
Can one define love & god’s will? Hard to answer will of god; so far love goes one has to understand its chemistry; LOVE reciprocates to LOVE without
discrimination to culture & background. One has to nurture it over a period of time & let it speak for itself with no strings attached. Some of the best
things in life cannot be seen yet only felt by the heart…………….
Love is patient; love is kind; does not put on airs; its not snobbish; love is never rude; is not self-seeking; not prone to anger; neither broods over injuries; does not rejoice in what is wrong; yet rejoices with truth; there is no limit to love forbearance; it has the power to endure till eternity- (1 Corinthians chapter 13). Love & Understanding will follow like a shadow in one’s life.
One at face value cannot define Trust, Faith & Love as they can’t be sought at one’s disposal; also there must be no opinion. You may have a lot of knowledge,
information yet the actual fact can be unraveled only after undertaking the journey of self-discovery. They have their own action; you know it’s blessing
when one has taken a leap into the unknown; either you make your own footprints on the sand or else follow the trail already embarked upon letting an conquest
go unexplored; as it has been rightly said that Hope is the parent of Faith………….
Faith is not a loose garment to be worn & discarded at one’s will; yet one also has to exercise his wisdom as not to doubt the greatest dispenser of fruits who
is omniscient, omnipresent, & omnipotent the one & all; the Almighty. Faith requires courage and perseverance. One’s faith has to emerge from a natural and deep conviction in the heart. Each person is responsible to his creator ; this serious trust is not to be taken lightly. With this trust goes the possibility of failure , loss & condemnation due to negligence & personal concern ; on other hand there is the potential for great reward & gain.
My visit to Infant Jesus-Viveknagar led me the golden opportunity to the greatest gift bestowed on mankind by the greatest match maker; Almighty called - LOVE. I
owe my ounce of lease of Life, Love & Faith to the dusky laughing eyes & to the wonders of the shrine by leaps & bounds. Can anyone be rich without Love? Or be
left poor having found Love ?? since it always Trusts, always Protects, always Preservers till eternity & Love eventually leads to TRIUMPH OF FAITH…………
ROSARIO PEREIRA
TESTIMONY
The Lord has done a wonderful miracle in our lives,
which I would like to share with everybody for the glory of the Lord.
I, Anita am married to Alexander for the last four and a half years now and blessed with a son, Allan, who is now 3 ½ year old. Alexander’s transporting business which was running smoothly for the last 10 years suddenly came to a standstill two and a half years back due to the cheating of his business colleagues, who ditched him of his money and all our efforts to retrieve the amount proved to be futile.
We were helpless and in total darkness with no hope to get the money back and to start the business, afresh. Life was more than a hell for us.
We kept praying to the Lord for his help and blessings. Prayer requests were sent everywhere that the Lord may help us have compassion over us.
During our days of hardship many people, including the Fathers of the different parishes did showed us the way of the Lord and we benefited in a very great extent that we came closer to the Lord. We learnt to give thanks to the Lord even in the days of misery and rejections and humiliation.
Alexander attended the Retreat at the Divine Retreat Centre, Pota, Kerala,India in June,2004 ) with a great faith that many miracles take place at this centre ( which was never thought of even in our dreams that the Lord would take Alex to the Divine Retreat Center Here, it was proclaimed by Fr.Augustine Vallooran, V.C. that “ Jesus will lead Alexander David ”. INDEED, Jesus led him. Of course, the money is not retrieved by us till today but after coming from Pota, Jesus started showering HIS blessing upon Alexander. Friends and known people came forward to help us financially to us thereby giving us a push-up. Alex’s business started with the grace of the Almighty ( which was, otherwise, an impossible task for us.)
My son has not yet started talking for whom I have sent prayer requests every where and I am sure that here also a miracle will take place in our lives and the Lord will free Allan’s tongue and he will start talking and thereby the name of the Lord will be glorified.
ALL PRAISE AND GLORY TO THE LORD WHO DOES MIRACLES AND NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR HIM.
THE LORD IS NEAR TO ALL
WHO CALL UPON HIM IN TRUTH.
Psalm 145 : 18
Dearest Infant Jesus ,
You are taking care of me in every steps and blessing my Life with Full of Joy.
Jesus,With your Blessing I got a new Job in Cisco,
with my Full Hearts I prais your Glory.
Your Son

God's healing Touch!
I have been on a path to trial all through my life with a persisitent struggle to keep my faith alive. It was during this time I have met Jennifer and four months into our friendship she fell ill and a month back she fell into a coma. It was a devastating experience. The variables that can cause such an illness are many and the chances of survival bleak. How can one explain a revival and healing if not for God's healing touch. This is an experience of God dividing the Red Sea which my eyes have beholden. It has strengthened my faith in Him and on the usefulness and healing powers of prayers. I want to thank Infant Jesus for all the kindness he has showed on us and May he bless every devotee who approach him with faith and never turn down the prayers of the faithful.
Hi
I have come from a poor background. We were very poor but that never led my parents to lead us the wrong way. We were brought up in a very loving environment with the usual feuds between my parents but overall it was good. Our uncles helped us along the way and we survived the harsh realities of life.
All along the way my mother would always pray and go for novenas with the three of us my sis, bro and myself all along.
We didnt have money to go by bus or train, so we would normally go walking.
Our prayers were answered by Our Lord Jesus and Mother Mary as we got into good careers after moving abroad.
I got married recently to a very nice girl with whom i was friendly for nearly 4 years.
I am in Australia now and life still goes on with its ups and downs. But one thing that never fails me is my prayers. My prayers have been answered by god in amazing ways. Whatever i have asked him he has given me more than that.
A few years back i would have never thought i would be here. I didint know where ill land in a few years time. But my prayers and dedication and belief and faith and the fact that God, jesus and Mother Mary will hear our prayers if we pray. Happiness in life i have reaslised cannot be judged at looking at ourselfes. To judge ourselves as to how happy we are, look at the people around you who are deprived and not as privileged as as we are. Thank you Infant Jesus for giving me all that you have. Couldnt have asked for more.
Bless us and all your people with your love and mercy.
Give your people the grace and understanding to know that you will love them and be with them and hear them and bless them whenever they come calling. My lord. Thank you Jesus. make this world a better place to live.
Give us your blessing and make us better human beings.
Thank you Jesus

Hi my name is Anand, and I have had a most miraculous experience a month back.I visit the Holy Shrine on Thursdays and most recently I was experiencing an aching love towards my dear Lord.I also have a three year old daughter and whenever I look at her I saw the beauty and the innocence of the Lord captured in her face.I also longed to possess a copy of the New Testament and every other day the thought used to cross my mind.One day it so happened that before going to bed my Dad reminded me of a courier package that had come for me that day.Upon opening it I saw a beautiful illustrated copy of the New Testament enclosed inside.There was no indication as to who had sent it!! But deep within I knew the Sender!! Glory be to the Dear Lord Infant Jesus!!
I was amazed on going through the testimonies on your website which has led me to conclude not to take things for granted and to praise and thank the Lord for every situation. Nothing is possible without His grace and mercy. To God be the glory and may His will be done in our lives. Please bless all those who come to you with faith and in prayer - reward the faith of your people Lord.

Thank you O Miraculous Infant Jesus for all the help that you have done i my life and career.

I thank you lord with all my heart for this help.
Today iam again in need O lord.
Help me that things go well and that i get the job in EMC.
One of my friends informed me about Infant Jesus and his miracles. So, as my friend and myself didint have a job, we went to infant Jesus church at Viveknagar, we prayed for our jobs and the miracle was not far, unexpectedly i got my dream job, and my friend started business.I thanks lord for showring his blessings.
After that i preyed Infant Jesus for my transfer which was very difficult for me to happen, again with the blessings of god it happended.
I am thankful to god for all his blessings he has kept showring on me.
AT present, i am undergoing a problem, which is affecting not only to me,but many others and it could lead everyone in pain.
I prey lord to make things happens as per our wish.Keep every one happy.
I will always be thankfull to you god.
I pity the ignorance of the masses. Fools rush where angels fear to tread. What a sham this whole business of misleading people in the name of true God. What we build is not even the foot stool for the Almighty. I pray that u guys know the truth
Many thanks to infant jesus for many favours received. Also sorry for not testifying all that have been recieved through him.
1/12/2005 ( Thursday )I am a final year MCA residing at kanyakumari district. Actually i am in the net insearch of my final year project with little bit of depression, because i didnt get my project so far and the presentation dates are getting very close to me.
While i am searching my project i suddenly got this website which made me astonishing because i got this while searching the names of software companies.
But wnile reading the various information furnished in this website i got some faith and hope regarding my project. Now i firmly believe that infant jesus will help me to get a good project to in a good firm, to enhance my future with his grace.
thank you lord for you grace
Jesus is my Lord. Just curious as to why worship infant Jesus rather than adult Jesus? child-care-business-and-software-coach.com
Dear Infant Jesus
Thank you for all your blessings. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for blessing me with a good life partner, a good job and all other blessings.
Your Loving daughter

Never knew that the Infant Jesus Shrine had a blog page. Guess it hasn't been developed though. In any case, there's devotional blog for all Konkani Catholics around the world at http://konkanicatholics.blogspot.com

A testimony of how my faith was awakened :
God has his own ways of calling us back to him. Maybe in the race to achieve success my family had started taking praying for granted, something done as a routine everyday. All this changed when one day I felt as though someone had pushed me into a dark tunnel from where I could not see a thing. I guess Jesus thought it was time to call me back to his fold. My husband was in deep trouble and our business in shambles. Everything seemed to be in ruins. I cried, screamed all alone with no one to help me. My parents and relatives were far away and could not come immediately. I had to rely on people who were out to take advantage of our condition. Then I had a vision, Mother Mary asking me to come back to Jesus. I started praying the rosary as many times I could, during the days and nights. I just prayed and prayed and a calm settled over me. I accepted what had happened as the will of God and prayed to Mother Mary and Jesus to give me the strength and confidence to stand by my husband and try to find solutions. My parents came and took control of the house and I could concentrate on the work.
Things which seemed impossible earlier, things which never materialised started working out. I FELT THE PRESENCE OF MOTHER MARY ALL AROUND ME. SHE PROTECTED ME. SHE MADE SURE THAT NO ONE WAS ABLE TO CHEAT ME. MIRACLES HAPPENED WHICH HELPED ME MOVE FROM ONE DAY TO THE OTHER. I never thought I would survive that ordeal and it was only possible because I put my faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and Mother Mary. I have learnt to be patient and accept the will of God. He knows the past, present and future. He will choose what is best for us. Things are still difficult and we are trying to solve our problems but we have the powerful presence of the Lord Jesus and Mother Mary in our life. I am confident that we will overcome this crisis and move forward.
The crisis was fatal, it has destroyed a lot but if we count our blessings in everything that happens to us this crisis:
brought me closer to my Jesus and Mother Mary.
it has made me stronger
it has brough my family closer.
THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOR ACCEPTING ME BACK INTO YOUR FOLD, THANK YOU MOTHER MARY FOR GIVING ME REFUGE IN YOUR HEART.
My name is Krish, a management student in Paris, France. I have been able to make it so far all my life because of My Loving Saviour, Infant Jesus whose Infinite mercy, Unfailing love and Understanding of my shortcomings and of my strengths, has made me be what I am today. It is all to His Divine Glory!!!!
Ever since I was a student of the 12th Grade, I have been visiting the Divine Shrine at Viveknagar for many graces. But I hadnt understood many significances around this Holy Place. As life went by, I experienced many rough patches, hardships and pain. I was in need of many Graces from the Lord. I must say this without any reservations that ..All that I have sought from my Divine Lord and Saviour Child Jesus, have been granted to me..in full measure. Today from Paris, as I look back..I am in awe when I think of His awesome blessings and the Abundance He showers on those who seek him with all their heart, soul and mind. Such is His willingness and loving heart to give and to give endlessly. I say with much conviction that I have achieved a dream which I couldnt have done on my own. It was all made possible because of his Divine compassion and His Sacred Heart that understands all my needs. The Lord still continues to guide me in my everyday life, protecting me, helping me in my learning and letting me understand things that I couldnt understand without His teaching. I also advise that those of you all who read this blog and put an ounce of faith in Lord Jesus...please continue to believe in Him, Trust Him and seek Him in all that you do and in all that you endeavour.
May all Glory be to God, our Almighty Father and to our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ !!!

Thanks Infant Jesus for all the nice things happened to me and my family. Pray, continue to help and guide me. Please don't allow anyone/anything to harm me or my family.
Dear God,
I m really thankful to you for every moment of events happening in my life. If it were not your blessings I wouldnt have been able to reach this far. Thanks for all your love for me and being so considerate. I feel confident only when i offer my prayers to you and then start my tasks. Thankyou very much! Please continue to help me and support me emotionally in all walks of life.
I was always mesmerized by Infant Jesus's capabalities. Jesus as innoncent child I guess is the pristine pure form of God you ever get. I lived in Bangalore for couple of years and IJC at viveknagar was alaways my destination when I felt distubed and wanted peace. I haven't seen the new church, but from the photos it looks to be marvelous. The church not only attracts Catholics but lot of people from other failts too. You could the Thursadys being crowded and more than half of the population who throng the church are people from other faiths. Remembering vivek nagar IJC is always a heart warming experience for me and it always brings back the memories when the church calmed me and stood by mside. Lord please prrovide your mercy to all the needy - b
To the Almighty Son that sits on the Throne and not the Infant Jesus that has been idolized: May all Glory and Majesty and Praise be given to you alone! Your holiness goes to all the corners of the earth and all will one day bow for you alone are worthy.
He does not reside in temples made by man and noone can capture His image. All glory and honor reside in Him for he is the omnipotent, omniscience, and omnipresent God who has redeemed His people to Him. I thank the Lord God Almighty that He sent His one and only Son to die and take place, conquering death and hell, so that I can enter into a right relationship with Him. He has given me the faith and the ability to repent if my sins, which seperate me from Him. Thank you Lord God Almighty, the one One who was, who is, and is to come! AMay all glory be ascribed to Him forever! Amen

Your ever grateful-SIMON
Wow. Who ever thought blogs could be used for something like this?
miraculous infant jesus has done miracles in my life. he will do the same for those who trust in him and pray faithfully.
prabha
I'm a Hindu by birth, but after hearing of Infant Jesus Shrine at Viveknagar Bangalore, i started going there every thursday, and for every 9th thursday one miracle was performed in my life. please pray with faith and trust jesus, even the most impossible will be miraculously possible only by His mercy.its a lifetime guarentee given by Jesus himself.- prabha
the more i testify about Jesus, the more miracles i see in my life.
i'm proud to announce that i've received Jesus into my life and he has saved me from all evil and danger and will protect us from saturn. if v cry to Him like the lost lamb, He will cradle us in his arms like an infant. pl. share this magic formula with everyone and spread the Lord's message LOVE.
Infant Jesus we thank U immensely for all the favours U have bestowed on us. now we pray for vinod's job and health. give him confidence in You and a permanent job. cure him completely of all sickness. i also pray for good health and happy long life of my dad and mom. please give my baby good discipline and make my husband to come to U like i've come to Your loving grace. bring my whole family into Your loving embrace and help me spread Your Word and testify everywhere i go.
U are a Wonderful God a Living God always waiting for us to ask U favours like little children asking their own father, little gifts of love. U know whatever we want, but r waiting for us to come to U and open our mouth and ask in faith and confidence, just like we have every right to ask our own father whatever we want. U are soooo..........kind and generous and never tired of giving blessing to all those who ask.
sometimes we are disappointed when U don't give us what we ask for. it was then we realised that U have a much better blessing in store for us, which we had not even imagined of or thought rightful to ask b'cos we're not worthy of such blessing. U just keep thrusting Your blessings and love on this sinful soul that i am overwhelmed by Your love and grace and will go around preaching Your Divine Love and Word.
U are an Omnipotent, Omnipresent and Omnicious God Lord our Father. Please continue blessing all Your children in this world and continue bringing more children into Your loving embrace. Let Your Word spread all through the world so that all of us will be saved and be ready to meet U in heaven. Thank You Jesus, thank U, thank U so much. Amen.
your loving daughter.
Thank you Infant Jesus for granting me 2 of my petitions
a) Relieving my back pain quite a bit, please heal me fully
b) Thank you for taking care of my sister who has delivered a cute baby name Clarissa
Holy Infant Jesus pls also grant me my last petition which is very important for me. Help me in my effort to save my marriage which is on the brink of divorse. Help to bore in fruits of love and forgiveness in my wife so that the problem resolves.
Love you Infant Jesus and thank you once again
My Little Infant Jesus has done great miracles in my life and I am grateful to him. My latest experience is that I used to carry in my breast a little plastic photo of infant Jesus whenever I go on a trip or on special days whenever I go for an interview or for medical check-up. It has never never failed. However, I lost this plastic photo last week on a plane. I have tried to have a copy done again and will ask Jesus to be with me again. I just want to share my little experience.
ALL PRAISE AND GLORY TO THE LORD WHO DOES MIRACLES AND NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR HIM.
THE LORD IS NEAR TO ALL
WHO CALL UPON HIM IN TRUTH.
Psalm 145 : 18
Hilda T T Kyu, Rangoon, Burma
All atheists and non-believers who read this page, please give Infant Jesus a chance to enter into your life and see the difference. you are sure to see a sea change and a positive glorious Grace in your life and lifestyle. just let the Little Infant do miracles in your life and i'm sure that You will also go around testifying His Loving Grace like i do.
just go to Infant Jesus Shrine at Viveknagar Bangalore on every Thursday for 9 consecutive Thursdays and say the prayer:
Dear Infant Jesus, You said "Ask and it shall be given unto you, seek and ye shall find, knock and the door shall be opened unto you", now i ask, seek and knock through Your most Holy and Immaculous Mother Mary, please grant me my desire and answer my petition.
Dear Infant Jesus, You said "Whatever you ask My Father in My Name, He will grant it to you", now i ask Your Holy Father in Your Name through the intercession of Your Most Holy and Immaculate Mother Mary, to grant me my wish and answer to my petition.
Dear Infant Jesus, You said, "Heaven and earth will pass, but My Word will not pass", through the intercession of Your Holy and Immaculate Mother Mary, i now call upon this promise of Yours to see my desire and solve all my problems.
If this prayer is said at the Holy Infant Jesus Shrine, every Thursday for Nine consecutive Thursdays, then all your petitions, no matter how impossible it may seem, will be automatically solved before the end of the 9th Thursday.
you could also type out the above prayer and distribute it at the Church to at least 9 people each thursday for 9 consecutive thursdays and you will see your blessings. start counting them and be thanking to the Lord. believe me, i did that and i found results. there is an old pastor on the Church premises who prays sincerely for all of us and his prayers are very effective.
But remember the only catch here is that you should pray with faith and truly trust that Infant Jesus can solve all your problems. when this is done genuinely and honestly, then you will see for yourself how all your problems are solved miraculously and you are sure to testify the same to all whom you come accross. and when you testify the miracles of the Holy Infant, then you will see more miracles in your life.
so it is just a matter of 9 Thursdays, trust in the Holy Infant Jesus and if physically possible, go the Holy Shrine at Viveknagar Bangalore, and you will see for yourself the truth. so it is an open challenge to all you atheists and non-believers, just give it a try with faith and you are sure to find miracles in your life also.
i was a non-Christian by birth and went to the Holy shrine just like it was a museum or a place of historical interest. but then, i was surprised to see that there were many hindus, even people going to shabarimala - a holy shrine of the hindus in kerala who wear black dhotis and rudraksh malas or chains, punjabis wearing turbans, even muslim women wearing black parda, all people from so many other communities other than Christians, praying at the Holy Shrine and lighting candles and garlanding the Holy Infant. When i spoke to many of these people there, several of them broke into tears and testified the miracles that happened in their life. it was then that i decided to give it a try and pray in faith, trusting the Holy Infant. i thought that it was just a matter of 9 Thursdays and it is worth the try. i came there for 9 consecutive thursdays and believe me, i started witnessing miracles in my life. it was then that i truely encountered the Holy Infant in all His Holiness at the Shrine. it is not easy to brainwash me, i had studied in a Christian school for 14 years and after all the brainwashing sessions that we used to have from several foreigners who had visited our school, i did not convert. but after having experienced the miracles myself at the Holy Infant Jesus Shrine at Viveknagar i have no other go but to accept the fact that Jesus is a true and living God and who other than me would be a better person to testify this.
i met with an accident at a crossroad junction when i was riding on my scooty. i was thrown off my bike and went whirling down across the road. i didnt know what had happened for a couple of minutes as the whole world went whirling in front of my eyes and i felt faint. but then i just remembered having uttered the word Jesus, thank You it wasnt worse. i just got up and walked to the bike, thank God i could walk that means i didnt have a fracture and i then pushed my bike to the road side and put the stand and started it. to my surprise it started and i went directly to the mechanic wondering how much i should shell out for it and to my surprise i only had a broken brake, which didnt cost much. then i remembered that i had a photo of the Holy Infant Jesus inside my scooty, which had protected me from the near fatal accident. after that i purchased a sticker of the Holy Infant and stuck it on my bike, my helmet, my car, my house main door, my kitchen, all doors, everywhere possible.
once again, when we were travelling out of Bangalore by bus, our driver had to brake urgently to avert an accident. but by doing so, our bus was hit badly from behind. anyway there were no casualities but our bus wouldnt move and there was a big traffic jam. anyway we managed to get onto another bus and continue on our journey. once again i had the Holy Infant Jesus photo in my handbag which had protected us in that journey.
similarly on several occassions Jesus has cured us of our health problems and many other relationship problems. Jesus has saved my marriage which was going through a very tough phase. Jesus also got admission for my baby in the most coveted school in Bangalore - National Public School at Indiranagar. that was definitely only a miracle which we are still astounded till date. i am sure that by testifying all this, others who read this will also give it a try and be benefitted and come into the Kingdom of the Lord. i'm sure Jesus is glad with my testimony and he will continue showering his blessings on me and my family and continue doing miracles for us to go around testifying to the world.
i am testifying this because of a tamil proverb which says "yaam pettra inbam vaiyakam peruga" meaning "let the world get the happiness which i have got". so now having full fledged experienced the miracles of the Holy Infant, i go around the world testifying the Holy Infant Jesus. i ask all my friends who read this to just give it a try a see for themselves the truth, they dont have to be brainwashed by anybody. they can just give it a try by themselves and experience the miracles in their life. but once you get a miracle please dont forget to publish it in this column so that others will benefit by your testimony as much as you will benefit by testifying.
everyword that i have written in this is the truth and my Lord knows it and is happy with me. Amen.
Infant Jesus is the one and only God who does miracles even to those who don't believe in Him and by doing these miracles, He brings into his fold the whole world by His Love.
MIRACULOUS INFANT JESUS

HE ANSWERS
HE SOLVES ALL PROBLEMS
HE IS THERE FOR U ALWAYS
HE IS THERE WHEN U WANT HIM MOST
THE MIRACULOUS INFANT JESUS
For quite a while now I was becoming more and more concerned at the company my son was keeping. Living in England, in a society that seems to condone underage drinking, smoking, etc., it seems quite the 'norm' for underage drinking, smoking, etc, hence didn't get very far in trying to persuade my son to see sense. He just wouldn't drop those friends, and he wanted to 'fit in'. I was close to despair, fed up of the many arguments. As a single mum it was extremely hard! Then recently I remembered an old infant jesus book I had been given, and started to pray. My son has suddenly, of his own accord, decided to drink less alcohol, seems to be concentrating on his school work and learning to play the guitar. I am hoping this will carry on. Infant Jesus has given me renewed hope and faith. I will continue to pray every night. He is my strength and solace. Thank you Infant Jesus.XXX
Dear Infant Jesus,
You are our one and only hope in this moment of despair. Please Dear Baby i pray that You solve all our problems and releave us from all our burdens and lighten our hearts with immediate effect. only You can do this. that's why i am petitioning to You knowing fully well that You are the Way, the Truth and the Life for all of us. and we can fully trust in You for anything and everything. please give us immediate relief and long term solutions. Thanking You for answering all our prayers and proving to the world that You are the true God who has resurrected from the cross and is living even today among our midst. i promise to publish my thanksgiving in this column and i am sure that day is not far off. Thanking You in full faith and trust. Your ever loving daughter. amen.
Dear Infant Jesus,
Thank You for all the mercies showered upon us till date and please continue to bless us with Your Loving Grace and do miracles in our life. as promised in my petition, i am writing this thanksgiving in this column to testify to the world of the miracles that only You can perform always without fail, no matter how impossible it may seem. in Jesus name we pray to our Holy God through the intercession of our Holy and Immaculate Mother Mary, amen. Thanking You in all trust.
Dear Lord Infant Jesus, with Your blessings I could overcome all hurdles and the betrothal function of my daughter was organised very grandly. Thank You my Lord, gracious Infant Jesus.
Dearest Jc,
I wouldnt be alive if you dint pick me up from where you did! I was looking for glass but you gave me a diamond. I dint know what i wanted, but you gave me what I needed! I can never thank you enough. Help everyone who are bound to drugs, pornography and sexual abuse! Please, Do it for me,PLEEEEAAASE!.
I know you will take care of everyone. Thank you again. Love you for your seamless mercy and unconditional love. Make your love known to people, you know we all need it, even though we dont admit it. I ask for forgiveness on behalf of everyone. Please have mercy on us weaklings.
I am a true example of the comments written by various people above...
I am a hindu by origin..I had lot of personal problems in my life..One of my friend just told me about infant jesus -viveknagar..
I had lot of faith and believed that he would definetly listen to my prayers..Visited the church on a regular basis...Used to pray whole heartedly and light candles.
Jesus just started working miracles for me..It was really amazing...Things which i thot was impossible was made possible by him..Thanks and praises to him...
People were wonder struck, for only i knew how things were made possibble...Even after i got my problems sorted never stopped praying or visiting his church for i was so greatfult o what he had done in my life...Later i used t pray him for my financial problems..U would not believe that i got achance to travel abroad at a very early stage of my carrier...
This is the greatest miracle i could say...I was just graduated out of college , withing a matter of 6 months(which no one could even think of ) got an onsite oppurtunity.....Thsi is something higly impossible in an IT industry...All this is becos of non other than the almighty who was so very kind and merciful to all my prayers...Today i am posting my expirience sitting here at UK...He has been with me throughtout my stay here...
I ma really very greatful and express my sincere gratitude to him for all he has done to me today..I even recollect teh days where i didn't even have a Passport wen i got this offer..I again used to go frequectly to his church asking him to give me th passport on time , so taht i dont miss this oppurtunity....He again worked miracles...Got my passport within a weak...Isnt it something really great whcih one could think of ?Its true ! I would be happy if my meessage has reached atleast one person who would believe me and trust and sart praying christ...
God really listens to ours prayers..Have faith and trust in him...Even today though i am a Hindu i read the bible everyday...For without which i dont consider my day to be a complete one...
I strongly believe in christ!
Praise u lord jesus
It has been nearly 9 years since I've been feeling the Lord's touch in my life.
At times I would ask myself what was to happen in my life because I felt this inner voice telling me that I was meant to do bigger things and be better than where I was at.
But I was unable to hold a job for long, or look people in the eyes while talking to them, unable to find a place to be content, unable to find peace in my heart, except when I was in the shrine.
The Lord heard my prayers and the last 5 years have been like almost I was held in the plam of Lord's hand. Every difficulty seemed so miniscule that overcoming it was not a problem.
Today, I want to be closer to the Lord again.. to feel his healing touch, to preserve what He has given me and build on it.
Praise be to you, little Lord, kind father and saviour. Forgive me my sins, make my heart pure and hold me close to you..
