Devotional Prayer:
Most Holy Infant Jesus, true God and true man, my Savior and Redeemer;
with all earnestness and confidence I beseech you,
by that charity, humility and goodness which you did display in your infancy,
that you deign to grant me the favor I now beg,
if it be for the honor and glory of God and for my salvation.
O most loving Infant Jesus,
I am most unworthy to be heard in this petition,
but your holy Mother Mary and St. Joseph,
are worthy to be heard in my behalf.
Be mindful then O Divine Infant, of their sublime merits
acquired during the time they served you in your infancy in Bethlehem,
your flight into Egypt, and your childhood at Nazareth.
Grant my request and give me grace to promote the honor of your Divine Infancy,
to serve you with fidelity all the day of my life,
and to obtain the grace of a happy death,
assisted in my last hour by your blessed Mother and St. Joseph,
whose zeal for your honor will lead me to praise and bless your divine mercies forever and ever.
Amen.
