Catholic Comics #12

This historical account traces the journey of a sacred statue brought from Spain to a Carmelite convent in Prague during the seventeenth century, detailing how devotion to the Infant Jesus of Prague grew through reported miracles and blessings granted to the faithful over centuries. The statue endured periods of neglect and displacement, including removal to Munich during wartime, yet became increasingly venerated by Catholics worldwide as a focus of prayer and thanksgiving. Today the cherished image remains enshrined in the Church of Maria de Victoria, continuing a tradition of spiritual devotion that spans three hundred years.

When a pair of young vacationers—Tom Walsh and his cousin Betty—arrive at Uncle Bob's ranch in Nevada, they quickly stumble upon a mystery: the remote Bar X ranch has no cattle, strange visitors, and locals who seem determined to keep them away. As Tom investigates the suspicious activity, he discovers far more trouble than Father O'Malley warned him about, and Betty must ride for help when things spiral beyond their control. It's a tale of youthful curiosity, quick thinking, and the kind of Western adventure that'll make those C.Y.O. meetings back home feel pretty quiet by comparison.

In 1624, a young man named Isaac Jogues leaves his home to enter the Jesuit seminary, driven by a desire to serve God as a missionary among the Native peoples of New France. After years of devotion among the Hurons, Jogues faces capture by the Iroquois, enslavement, and a desperate escape that tests his faith and resolve. His journey ultimately leads him to return as an ambassador of peace, confronting the very forces that once held him captive.
