I found the baptism of my wife's paternal grandfather João Baptista 
Cordeiro in Urzelina, São Jorge Island but I am struggling to read was 
written for his madrinha.  I have the padrinho as Antonio Machado Lisboa, 
but for madrinha it looks like instead of a name it has "a invocação de 
Nossa Senhora dos Milagres, com cuja c*???????* na cabeça do baptizado"

I can't make out the word(s) between cuja and na cabeça, but I think I have 
the rest correct.  Can someone correct what I have, fill in the blank, or 
explain this to me.  I haven't seen this before.  Are they praying for help 
in determining a madrinha?

It is João, starting on lower left and continuing on the right side.

Thanks,
