Prayer by Ven. Father Cyril of the Mother of God, OCD
Infant Jesus,
unto You With a humble trust I pray.
Through Your mother's sinless heart,
Help me in my need today.
I believe that You are God,
With a power that is divine.
Full of confidence I ask
That You grant this prayer of mine.
Firm my purpose to amend,
I resolve to grieve no more
That most loving heart of Yours
Out of which all mercies pour.
My whole life I give to You,
I will serve You, Infant King,
Suffer for You patiently,
Do Your will in everything.
Little Jesus, for Your sake
I will love my neighbor, too.
I will seek the other's good
Through the love I bear for You.
Save me through Your mother's prayers,
And St. Joseph's, grant me then
With the heavenly choirs to sing
Endless praise to You.
Amen!
O Divine Infant Jesus,
I have recourse to Thee. Please,
through Thy Blessed Mother,
assist me in this necessity...
mention intention...
because I firmly believe that
Thy Divinity can help me.
I hope with confidence to obtain
Thy holy grace.
I love Thee with all my heart
and with all the strength of my soul.
I repent sincerely of my sins
and I beg Thee, O Good Jesus,
to grant me the strength to triumph over them.
I resolve never more to offend Thee
and I come to offer myself to Thee
with the intention of enduring everything
rather than to displease Thee.
Henceforth, I desire to serve Thee with fidelity and,
for the love of Thee, O Divine Infant,
I will love my neighbor as myself.
All-powerful Infant, O Jesus,
I implore Thee again, assist me in this need.
Grant me the grace of possessing Thee eternally
with Mary and Joseph
and of adoring Thee with the angels in the Heavenly Court.
Amen.
