Novena Prayer to the
Infant Jesus
From December 16 to 24
Dearest Child Jesus, how tenderly You love us! Your greatest joy is
to dwell among us and to bestow Your blessing upon us. Though I am
not worthy that You should help me, I feel drawn to You by love
because You are kind and merciful.
So many who turned to You with confidence have received graces and
had their petitions granted. Behold me as I come before You to lay
open my heart to You with its prayers and hopes. I present to You
especially this request, which I enclose in Your loving Heart:
(Mention your request).
Rule over me, dear Infant Jesus, and do with me and mine according
to Your Holy Will, for I know that in Your Divine Wisdom and Love
You will arrange everything for the best. Do not withdraw Your hand
from me, but protect and bless me forever.
I pray You, all-powerful and gracious Infant Jesus, for the sake of
Your Sacred Infancy, in the Name of Your Blessed Mother Mary who
cared for You with such tenderness, and by the greatest reverence
with which Saint Joseph carried You in his arms, help me in my
needs. Make me truly happy with You, dearest Infant, in time and in
eternity, and I shall thank You forever with all my heart. Amen.
