Our Blessed Saviour,
Jesus Christ, instructed us,
"Unless you become like little
children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven."
Our Divine Master not only
taught us by word,
gave us His life as an example.
He came among us as a helpless
infant
the better to gain our affection,
and win our Love.
As a Little Child, He was
still our God
and already by right the
King of the Universe
He had created and now had
come to recreate.
Devotion to Our Saviour,
the Infant of Prague,
honors the great mystery
of His incarnation.
We acknowledge His divinity
and His humanity,
and rejoice in His great
Love that led Him to give His life for us.
PRAYERS TO CHRIST, OUR LORD
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 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 goodness created
and your coming recreated.
Amen.
PRAYERS TO THE INFANT OF
PRAGUE
V. Lord, You made us
a little less than the angels,
R. You have crowned us with
glory and honor.
Lord Jesus, Prince of Peace
and King of the Universe,
You chose to come among us
as a helpless infant
in order that we might all
approach You
more readily, confidently,
and without fear.
Help us please, our Infant
King,
to become like little children.
Please grant us the heavenly
help we now seek.
Aid us from Your throne on
high
to imitate Your perfect Love
of God and man.
In Your goodness, Divine
Child,
manifest your power to all
men,
preserve us from sin,
and bring us safe at last
into Your heavenly company.
Amen.
