My name is Bhakthi D’Souza, and my husband Prakash and I are parishioners of St. Monica Church, Kumbla. Today, we visited the Infant Jesus Shrine at Bikarnakatte, Mangaluru, to offer our homage and heartfelt thanksgiving to Infant Jesus for the immense blessings we have received.

When I was expecting my first child, Preema, I faced severe bleeding and serious health concerns. During this difficult time, I made a heartfelt vow to Infant Jesus, asking Him to bless me with good health and a safe delivery. By His grace and mercy, my prayers were heard, and I was blessed with a healthy child.

I will forever remain grateful to Infant Jesus for His blessings and protection during such a challenging time in my life. May the name of Infant Jesus be praised always!

I am Sunitha Pinto, a single parent from Shiragura, Hassan. My husband, Late Lancy Pinto, passed away a decade ago, leaving me with the responsibility of raising our two daughters. By God's grace, both have grown into wonderful individuals. My elder daughter, Sharal, is working abroad and settling into her life, while my younger daughter, Shalet, is pursuing her studies abroad.

Though I live far from the Infant Jesus Shrine at Bikarnakatte, Mangaluru, I feel a deep spiritual connection to this holy place. When my children were studying in Mangaluru, I often visited them, and each time, I never missed the opportunity to pray at the Shrine. Even now, whenever I visit Mangaluru, I make it a point to come here.

For years, I harbored a strong desire to own a house in Bengaluru city. With the blessings of Infant Jesus, this dream became a reality. Today, I am blessed with a beautiful 2BHK house near Narayana Hrudayalaya, Bengaluru. I am deeply grateful for this blessing, and I attribute it to the intercession of Infant Jesus.

This November, I had the privilege of visiting the Shrine with my elder daughter, who was home on vacation. We came together to offer our heartfelt thanksgiving for the abundant blessings we have received. May the name of Infant Jesus be glorified forever!

My name is Delson Loy D'Souza, and I hail from Nagori-Mangaluru, a parishioner of Guardian Angel Church, Angelore. I want to share the incredible blessings I have received from Infant Jesus.

After completing my graduation in cake making, I was searching for a job overseas. Though I had applied to Canada, I didn’t receive any response. However, out of nowhere, I received a call from Kuwait offering me the exact job I had been praying for. This, to me, is nothing short of a miracle from Infant Jesus.

My family has always been deeply devoted to Infant Jesus. My elder brother, who works abroad, makes it a point to visit the Infant Jesus Shrine in Bikarnakatte immediately after landing at the airport. This devotion has become a part of our lives, and we’ve witnessed countless blessings.

I visited the shrine with my mother, bringing a dress as an offering to Infant Jesus as a token of our gratitude. I am especially grateful for the blessings I’ve received in my professional life. I specialize in making custom cakes, and some of the cakes I’ve crafted for mega weddings have cost as much as 8 lakhs or 5 lakhs.

I truly believe that all of this is possible because of the grace and blessings of Infant Jesus. I am forever grateful for His guidance and care.

As a boat builder, my days are filled with the labor of creating vessels that weather the storms, much like our journey of faith. Daisy, a devoted homemaker, stood by with unwavering belief, nurturing our hopes and dreams. We visited the Infant Jesus Shrine countless times, placing our trust in His divine intervention.

Today, we stand here, humbled and overjoyed, to offer our heartfelt thanksgiving at the very shrine where our prayers were heard. Aeithen now who is 8, is a true blessing, a testament to the power of faith and the mercy of the Infant Jesus.

We are Neelan Gratian and Celestine D'Souza from Pudu-Farangipete, and we wish to share the beautiful ways in which Infant Jesus has blessed our family.

Years ago, we fervently prayed to Infant Jesus, asking for the gift of a child. Our prayers were answered when we were blessed with our first son, Prinston Anto D'Souza, who is now 9 years old. His birth was a joyous occasion, and we were thankful that he came into this world through a normal delivery, healthy and strong.

A few years later, we were blessed again with our second son, Joyson D'Souza. However, this time, the pregnancy was not without its challenges. There were complications that caused us great concern, and we were unsure of what the outcome would be. We turned to Infant Jesus once more, placing our fears and hopes in His hands.

Through the grace of Infant Jesus, despite the difficulties, Joyson was born safely via a C-section. We are overjoyed to have both our sons with us, healthy, and we know it is all thanks to the protection and blessings of Infant Jesus.

My name is Shalet, and I would like to share the wonderful ways the Lord has blessed my family. My husband Titus Monteiro has been working in Saudi Arabia for the past 20 years.

In our distress, we turned to Infant Jesus and prayed fervently, asking for His divine intervention.

To our great joy and amazement, our prayers were answered! My husband finally received his due salary, and we felt a tremendous weight lifted off our shoulders.

Moreover, after 12 long years of marriage, during which we waited and prayed for a child, we were blessed with a beautiful baby Ancita Thaniya Monteiro who is now in 4th Std. This precious gift has filled our hearts with immense joy and gratitude.

I am Sushma Jyoline, and I want to share my testimony of the miraculous healing I experienced, all thanks to the grace of Infant Jesus.

Six months ago, I was involved in a severe accident that left my right elbow completely damaged. The doctors had little hope for a quick recovery. They suggested that I would need multiple surgeries, including bone, tissue, and plastic surgeries, to regain even partial use of my arm. The outlook was daunting, and I was filled with fear and uncertainty.

However, in the midst of this dark time, I placed my faith in Infant Jesus and prayed fervently for His divine intervention. I asked for strength, courage, and above all, healing.

Miraculously, within just two months, I began to notice a remarkable improvement. My elbow, which the doctors had predicted would take much longer to heal, was recovering at a pace that baffled them. I was able to resume my daily activities, and the pain that once seemed unbearable gradually faded away.

Today, six months after the accident, I stand before you completely healed. My elbow is perfectly alright, and I have regained full use of my arm. The surgeries that were once deemed necessary are no longer needed.

I am here today to offer my heartfelt thanksgiving to Infant Jesus for this incredible miracle. I know without a doubt that it was His grace that healed me. I am eternally grateful for His love, mercy, and the second chance He has given me.

Thank you, Infant Jesus, for this wonderful gift of healing.

My name is Jenifer Pais, and I am from Karkala, near the Minor Basilica of St. Lawrence, Attur. I am blessed with three wonderful children, and I would like to share a miraculous experience that strengthened my faith in Infant Jesus.

When my second child, Dion, was just one and a half years old, we had a close brush with what could have been a tragic accident. One day, as I was reversing the car, Dion somehow slipped and fell under the vehicle. My heart raced as I realized the danger, but in that critical moment, I instinctively applied the brake. Miraculously, the car stopped just in time. If not for that split-second decision, the tire would have gone over my precious little one. Yet, by the grace of Infant Jesus, Dion was saved without even a single scratch.

This experience was nothing short of a miracle. I am eternally grateful to Infant Jesus for His protection over my child that day. Praise be to Infant Jesus for this incredible act of love and mercy.
