Saint
Joseph
Novena to the Most Blessed Infant Jesus of Prague
Oh
dearest Jesus, tenderly loving us, Your greatest joy is to dwell
among us and to bestow Your blessings upon us.
Though we are
not worthy that You should behold us with Your love, we feel drawn to
You, O dear Infant Jesus, because You gladly pardon us and exercise
Your almighty power over us.
So many who turned with
confidence to You have received graces and had their petitions
granted.
Behold us, in spirit we kneel before Your miraculous
image on Your altar in Prague, and lay open our hearts to You, with
our prayers, hopes and especially with the petitions that You may
grant an increase of vocations to the priesthood and religious life
and those which we hold in the silence of our hearts,
(Mention
your petitions)
Govern us and do with us according to Your
Holy Will, for we know that in Your divine wisdom and love You ordain
everything for the best.
Almighty and gracious Infant Jesus,
do not withdraw Your hand from us, but protect and bless us
forever.
We pray to You, most holy infant, in the name of Your
Blessed Mother Mary who cared for You with such tenderness, and by
the great reverence with which St. Joseph carried You in his arms,
comfort us and make us happy that we may bless and thank You forever
from all our hearts. Amen
O Miraculous Infant Jesus, here
present before Your sacred image, we beseech You to look with mercy
on us. Let Your tender heart, so inclined to pity, be softened at our
prayers, and grant us that grace for which we ardently implore You.
Take from us all affliction and despair, all trials 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, forever and ever.
