Hail, Most Lovable Little Jesus

Hail, most lovable little Jesus, living Bread of Bethlehem, Innocent Lamb of Jerusalem, newly-born King of Judea! Receive us into the number of Your chosen servants.
Hail, most beautiful little Jesus, watchful Shepherd of the heavenly sheep, beloved fellow-Brother of all the children of men, delicate flower planted by the Holy Spirit in the virgin heart of Mary, bright daybreak rising out of the dark night to the joy of the whole earth! Drive away from us the darkness of sin.
Glory and praise be to You, tender, sweet little Jesus! From the depths of my heart I pray and adore You because for the love of me and of all mankind You were willing to lie in the manger and to suffer such great poverty and misery. I thank and adore Your tender limbs and Your tender hands and feet, and I praise the inexpressible love which drew You forth from the bosom of the Heavenly Father, down to a poor and miserable stable.
Glory and praise be to You, noble little Jesus! I greet and praise You with the same fervent love with which Your mother loved and praised You so intensely.
Glory and praise be to You, most beloved little Jesus, sweet delight of eternal bliss. I greet and praise you with the same love which made You leave Heaven and become a poor child.
Glory and praise be to You, most precious little Jesus, joy and honor of Your Heavenly Father! I thank You through Your own sweet heart which You have revealed to the whole world through Your birth. I greet You over and over again, most beautiful little Jesus, sweetest delight of the Father’s Heart, refreshment of sick souls. I offer to You my own heart for your eternal glory and service.
Jesus, crown, love, joy, bliss of virgins! Your love made You the Son of a virgin. May You be glorified and praised forever. Amen. ~St. Gertrude
