My Prayer Book to the Santo Niño

About this book

The Holy Child is a venerated image of the Child Jesus, associated with the origins of Christianity in the Philippines and recognized for its miraculous history since the sixteenth century, when it was given during the baptism of the first Filipino Christians by Ferdinand Magellan. After its providential and intact discovery in Cebu following a devastating fire, devotion to the Holy Child was consolidated as one of the deepest and most significant expressions of faith in Catholic popular culture and spirituality. Based on this rich tradition, My Prayer Book to the Santo Niño brings the faithful 30 specially selected prayers inspired by the Sacred Scriptures, the lives of the saints, and love for the Child Jesus. These prayers seek to strengthen one's personal relationship with the Holy Child, also offering spaces for each reader to write their intentions and lift up their petitions in moments of need, gratitude, or the search for miracles. The book includes traditional and ancient images of the Holy Child, as well as a complete novena-ideal for those who wish to deepen their devotion or keep their faith alive every day.
