This is how the Child Jesus began his incarnate life. Let us contemplate the majestic soul and Divine Body He assumed, worshiping them deeply.
First, admiring the soul of that divine Child, let us consider the fullness of his sacred knowledge, through which from the first moment of his life he saw the divine essence more clearly than all the angels and read the past and the future in all its aspects. their secrets and knowledge.
Now we move from the soul of the Child Jesus to his body, which is a world of wonders, a masterpiece from the hand of God. He wanted him to be small and weak, like all children, and subject to all the discomforts of childhood, to be more like us and share in our humiliations.
The beauty of this body of the Divine Child was greater than anything ever imagined, and the divine blood that began to course through his veins from his Incarnation was what washed away all the stains of the guilty world.
Let us ask Him to wash ours in the sacrament of penance, so that on His blessed Christmas day He may find us cleansed, forgiven, and willing to receive Himself with love and spiritual benefit.

O sweet mother, tell me something of the deep memories and divine tenderness with which you waited for him, so that we may be less worthy to see him, to love him, and to adore him forever. Amine.(Hail Mary is prayed three times).

My sweet Jesus, my adored child
Come to our soul! Come on, don’t let it take so long!

To reach childishly, you must consider yourself sacred!
Oh, Divine Child, come to teach us
common sense creates true wise men!
2. Oh, Adonai mighty is Moses speaking,
You gave orders to people from Israel!
Oh, come quickly to save us,
and let a weak child show his arm strong!
3. Oh, the sacred root of Joseph on high
Present your fragrant hyacinth to the world!
The sweetest boy ever called
Lily of the valley, beautiful flower of the field.
4. The key of David to exile
The closed doors of the royal palace!
Take us out, oh Child, with your white hand,
From the sad prison engraved by sin!
5. Oh, light of the East, sun of endless rays,
Let’s see your glory in the darkness!
Such a precious child, a Christian’s joy,
Show the smile of your sweet lips.

without the equal image of the sovereign God!
Erase our mistakes, save the exiles
and in the guise of a child he gives shelter to the wretched!

The child you feed with a soft wand
Now the grumpy sheep, now the docile lamb!

The consolation of the sad, the light of the exiled!

my constant friend, my divine brother!

Kiss your plants now! Kiss your hands now!
I prostrate myself on the ground, I extend my arms to you,
And my crying tells you more than my words!
