375 Years of the Graced Loreto Child in Salzburg

With the beginning of the solemn Holy Name Octave on 1 January 2025, we open the jubilee year of our beloved Graced Little Jesus, who, 375 years ago, took up his throne of grace in the sanctuary of St. Maria Loreto as Savior and Prince of Peace.

To him be thanks, love, honor and praise!

O dear Little Jesus,
stretch out your little hands over us and bless us!
Enclose us all in your divine little Heart, and let the sun of your divine will shine forth in our hearts.

All the faithful are warmly invited
in this Jubilee within the Holy Year of Hope to pray with us for the great intentions of the Church and the world:

For conversion, reconciliation and peace in hearts, in families and throughout the world;
for unity within the Church and her renewal in the true Catholic faith.

Draw with us from the fountains of saving grace!

In the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass
Here, day after day, the unbloody making-present of the sacrifice of the Cross of Jesus Christ is accomplished.
“May the ancient Christian custom come alive again, that from every family at least one member attends Holy Mass each day.”
(Archbishop Dr A. Rohracher)

In silent Eucharistic Adoration
From the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus, the wellspring of divine love, flow to us all the graces which we ourselves and the whole world so greatly need.
“And at the same time, in a spirit of reparation, we may be ‘consolers’ for him for those who do not believe in him, do not adore him, do not hope in him and do not love him.”
(From the Fatima message)

Through praying the Holy Rosary
“When we pray the Rosary before the Most Blessed Sacrament, we love Jesus with the Heart of Mary … and Jesus receives our adoration as though it came directly from the Heart of Mary.”
(St Teresa of Calcutta)

By receiving the blessing with the Graced Loreto Child
(at the convent gate)
“When we are in great distress and have no hope left, then the Loreto Child helps us with God’s might and love!”

“Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest.” (Mt 11:28)
