From the slavery of children of Adam,  Infant Jesus, Deliver us.

From the evil desires of the Flesh,
From the malice of the world,
From the pride of life,
From the inordinate desire of knowing,
From the blindness of spirits,
From an evil will,
From our sins,
Through Your most pure Conception,
Through Your most humble Nativity,
Through Your tears,
Through Your most painful Circumcision,
Through Your most glorious Epiphany,
Through Your most pious Presentation,
Through Your most Divine Life,
Through Your poverty,
Through Your many sufferings,
Through Your labors and travels,

(Repeat the above after each invocation)

Lamb of God, You take away the sins of the world, have mercy on us, O Infant Jesus.

Jesus, Infant, hear us.
Jesus, Infant, graciously hear us,


Let us pray. O Lord Jesus Christ, You were pleased so to humble Yourself in Your incarnate Divinity and most sacred Humanity, as to be born in time and become a little child.  Grant that we may acknowledge infinite wisdom in the silence of a child, power in weakness, and majesty in humiliation.  Adoring Your humiliations on earth, may we contemplate Your glories in heaven, Who with the Father and the Holy Spirit lived and reign forever. Amen.
