Father Cyril raised his eyes. He couldn't believe his ears. But it was true! The statue did talk to him! Needless to say, Father went to his Prior and told him what the Child Jesus said. But no matter how he pleaded that the Lord truly wished the repair of his statue, the Prior, because of lack of funds, told him he had to reject his petition. As Father Cyril could not move man's heart, he turned to God. Shortly after much praying, a nobleman came to Father to hear his confession. He shared that he felt called by God to come to Prague, so that he could prepare for his death by receiving the Sacrament of Penance; and he added, to help the friary. He gave Father Cyril 100 florins.
