FINAL PRAYER

Lord Jesus, conceived of the Holy Spirit, You wanted to be born of the Blessed Virgin, to be circumcised, manifested to the Gentiles and presented to the temple, to be brought to Egypt and spend a part of your childhood here; thence, return to Nazareth and appear in Jerusalem as a prodigy of wisdom among the doctors.

We contemplate the first 12 years of your earthly life and we ask You to grant us the grace to honor the mysteries of your holy childhood with such devotion as to become humble of heart and spirit and conform to You in everything, Divine Child, You who live and reign with God the Father, in the unity of the Holy Spirit for ever and ever. So be it.
