Novena to the Miraculous Infant Jesus
Opening Prayer
Dear Infant Jesus, Your arms are outstretched to welcome us here and stretched over us to bless us. Help us spend this hour in prayer to praise You and bless You. You indeed are our Lord and Saviour. You care for us and beacuse of Your care for us, You are with us to hear our petitions. Hear then our plea and graciously grant our petitions. We humbly invoke Your powerful aid, and ask this of You, Jesus Who lives and reigns with the Father and the Holy Spirit, one God for ever and ever. Amen.
Novena Prayer
O Miraculous Infant Jesus, we prostrate before Your sacred image and beseech You to cast a merciful look on our troubled hearts. Let Your tender Heart, so inclined to show mercy, be softened by our prayers and grant us that grace for which we ardently implore You.
(Mention requests/petitions)
Take from us all affliction and despair and misfortunes with which we are laden. For Your Sacred Infancy's sake, hear our prayers and send us consolation and aid that we may praise You with the Father and the Holy Spirit, for ever and ever. Amen.
Intention of the Mass
O little Infant Jesus, we offer this mass in union with You to our loving Father in heaven whom You taught us to call lovingly 'Our Father'. We offer You to Him as a loving sacrifice and offer ourselves along with You to our loving Father in heaven. We pray not only for us but for everyone in this world of ours.
