Synopsis
Excerpt from The Little Month of the Holy Infancy, or the First Mysteries of the Life of Our Lord Jesus Christ, Proposed to the Imitation of Youth: Translated From the French of the Abbe Letourneur, Vicar-General of the Diocese of Soissons, and Dedicated to the Members of the Society of the Holy Childhood
That age to be called to a more abundant par ticipation in the benefits and blessings of that adorable Infancy. It was doubtless these con siderations which inspired Pope Saint Leo to utter these touching words: Jesus Christ loved Childhood, the first state of man through which He would pass. Jesus Christ loved childhood, the mistress of humility, the rule of innocence, the model of gentleness. Should they not also inspire us to dedicate to that age, so dear to our Redeemer, the month of the Holy Infancy? Yes, certainly, and such was our first intention; but seeing that the form of that work did not exactly answer the desired end, we thought that a course of Lectures and Practices, composed exclusively for children, would render easier for them the study of their Divine Model, and the perfection after which they should strive, by their endeavors to imi tate Him happy if our labors should contribute to develop or to strengthen in these young souls the knowledge and love of the Infant Jesus, and aid them to become faithful copies of Him, by their innocence and simplicity.

This book delves into the historical context and profound significance of the Society of the Holy Childhood, a Christian organization dedicated to the spiritual and physical well-being of children, particularly in China.

Through vivid descriptions and poignant anecdotes, the book explores the society's mission to provide baptism, care, and education to these vulnerable children, offering them a path toward a brighter future. The narrative emphasizes the transformative power of this work, not only for the children but also for those who contribute to their salvation. The author highlights the spiritual rewards and societal benefits that arise from participating in acts of charity and supporting the society's endeavors. The book beautifully intertwines theological reflections with practical guidance on fostering a devotion to the Holy Infancy of Jesus Christ.
