Adorable infant Jesus, you not only
humbled yourself to assume our human
nature, but chose also to come to us
as a little child, weakest and most
defenseless among men. Teach us,
then, to learn the real greatness of
humility, and that human strength is
made perfect in weakness by your
divine aid.

Lovable infant Jesus, have mercy on
us and help us in our need. Let us
rely alone on God, our most provident
Father, who watches over us always.
By your grace may we approach our
heavenly Father in confidence with a
trust like that of a little child.

Admirable infant Jesus, have pity on
our littleness and weakness and assist
us by your divine power in our present
necessity. Please help us today to
reverence all life, and for your sake to
love all living things which your good-
ness created and your coming recreated.
Amen.
