Prayer to the Infant Jesus

“Let Your goodness Lord appear to us, that we, made in Your image,
    conform ourselves to it.
In our own strength we cannot imitate Your majesty, power, and wonder
    nor is it fitting for us to try.
But Your mercy reaches from the heavens through the clouds to the earth
    below.
You have come to us as a small child, but You have brought us the
    greatest of all gifts, the gift of eternal love.
Caress us with Your tiny hands, embrace us with Your tiny arms, and
    pierce our hearts with Your soft, sweet cries.”
Amen
~St. Bernard of Clairvaux
