O Divine Infant Jesus, I have recourse to Thee.
Please, through Thy Blessed Mother, assist me in this necessity
Pause here for the grace you are asking.
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.
Our Father, who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
Divine Infant King, have mercy on us.
In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
