Holy Child Mary of the royal house of David, Queen of the angels, Mother of grace and love, I greet you with all my heart. Obtain for me the grace to love the Lord faithfully during all the days of my life. Obtain for me, too, a great devotion to you, who are the first creature of God's love.
O heavenly Child Mary, pure and beautiful, help me to preserve the virtue of purity at the cost of any sacrifice. Assist me to avoid the vanity and pleasures of the world and to receive more deeply the thoughts, feelings, and virtues of your divine Son.
O blessed Child Mary, from your cradle stretch out your hand and support me on the path of life. Mercifully listen to my supplications, and in my present need grant me the favor I seek through the goodness of your Immaculate Heart.
