HISTORY

The devotion owes it origin to the zeal of the Venerable Sister Marguerite of the Blessed Sacrament, a Carmelite religious, who died in the order of sanctity at Beaune, France,  May 26, 1648, aged 27 years.

The Divine Infant revealed to His faithful servant how pleasing to Him is this holy practice.  He promised her that He would grant special graces, above all purity of heart and innocence, to all who carried the chaplet of their person and recited it in honor of the mysteries of His Holy Infancy.  As a sign of His approval, He showed her these chaplets shining with a supernatural light.

INSTRUCTIONS

On the medal the following invocation is said:

Divine Infant Jesus, I adore Your Cross, and I accept all the crosses You will be pleased to send me.  Adorable Trinity, I  offer You for the glory of the Holy Name of God all the adorations of the Sacred Hear of the Holy Infant Jesus.

This Rosary is recited as follows:  Our Father three times in honor of the Holy Family; Hail Mary twelve times in honor the twelve years of our Divine Savior's Infancy.

Before each Our Father say:  And the Word  was made flesh, and dwelt among us.

Say the same words before the first Hail Mary.

At the end of the chaplet, say:

Holy Infant Jesus, bless and protest us!
