He shall soon reign in the hearts of all children of the yes to The
Love. In the Name of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Divine Infant Jesus, our King of Love, our almighty God, you hold all things in your hands. You are eager for your reign to come: “Come and reign in our hearts, you are the only one we want.” Forgive us our bad choices; no one can resist your merciful love. You created Heaven and earth, and all that is found within them. God of our fathers, who then is able to stand before your Majesty? You are the Master of all things. Divine Majesty, have pity on us, for impure spirits seek our downfall, and their temptations that assail us are numerous. You said, “Ask and you shall receive, for he who asks for little shall receive little.” And also, “All that you ask of my Father in my Name, he will grant you. Ask with faith, for my Father listens to your prayers. He forgives your sins and keeps chastisements, which are the consequences of your sins, away from you.” Lord, turn our tears into joy so that while living on this earth, we might praise your Holy Name constantly, and after this life, we might continue to praise you forever in Heaven. Amen.

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be. |

Lord Jesus, you said, “Anything you might wish to ask me, ask it through the merits of my infancy, for all shall be granted to those who invoke me in this manner.” By the merits and virtues of your infancy, I come to invoke you and to pray to you with faith, Divine Infant Jesus, King of Love, on behalf of all your children. You know that I love you so but I want to love you even more, up to the point of dying. Come to me, Infant Jesus, come into my heart, allow me to adore you. Gentle Shepherd of my soul, with you I lack nothing, for you lead me to peaceful sources where I can renew my strength. Use my strength that you restore ceaselessly. In the Divine Will, chase temptations far from all your children, for my rejections of temptations will be their rejections; you are the one who will do this. We beg you, little Infant Jesus, do everything for us. Throughout your childhood, you kept the love of your Heavenly Father and of your gentle Mother Mary in your heart. You never forgot to pray for Joseph, your putative father, and for your future Church. Always, you lead us to the right path, and when we walk in darkness, you are close to us; under your guidance, we are protected, and your goodness and mercy accompany us always throughout our life. Gentle Infant Jesus, cherished Infant of our soul, we belong to you completely, our soul is yours. Since you redeemed us on the cross through your Blood, we acknowledge you as our only Saviour, our Redeemer, our Friend, our Brother, our King and our Creator. Heal our wounded love, and one day, we will show it to you whole and free of all imperfection. Give us your holy blessing, in the Name of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
