Thoughts from Fr. Carl Markelz,
Director of the League of the Miraculous Infant Jesus of Prague
June/July 2024
I hope this message finds you well and filled with the warmth of our shared mission here at the League of the Miraculous Infant Jesus of Prague.
We often find ourselves gently reminding the young ones that frolicking in the fountains is not in accordance with the rules. Yet, their laughter and joy remind us of the innocence and exuberance of youth! Amidst our duties, we must sometimes pause and let the children be children, allowing their playful spirits to dance freely.
It’s not just the children who benefit from such moments of spontaneity. In the midst of our solemn tasks, we too find solace in the simple things in life. We need to let the adults play and revel in the joy that surrounds us.
Your support is essential in fostering this environment. Through your generosity, we can continue to provide for the spiritual needs of our community and enable the flourishing of youthful activity. Your contributions help us create a space where children can laugh, play, and grow in the embrace of faith.
| Our Prayer Infant Jesus, open my heart to be more youthful. Make me open to the new and unexpected moments of each day. Show me how to love with open arms ready for embrace. Amen |
Thank you for your continued support, which allows us to nurture the vibrant spirit of within our sacred grounds. Together, let us continue to uplift and inspire the next generation.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Fr. Carl Markelz, O.Carm.
