Consecration
to the Holy Child of Prague
O Divine Child Jesus,
only-begotten Son of the Father, You are the true light that enlightens
everyone coming into this world. It is through You that I am, it is through You
that all things have been made, and without You nothing would be. It is
therefore just that I devote myself to You without reserve.
In gratitude for all
the love with which You love me, I devote to you all the love my heart is
capable of. I ardently desire to love you still more, to offer You a heart less
unworthy of You. Accept this ardent desire, O amiable Child-God, and kindly
bless it.
You have suffered for
us and have borne Your infirmities, in order that we might one day deserve to
be associated with Your eternal happiness. I want to unite my sufferings to
Yours, so that You may give them merit and they may be sanctified. As You have
been weeping for me, because of my sins, help me by Your grace to weep for them
myself.
I also devote to You
all my joys. I only have the ambition and the will to seek those pleasing to
your service, by the practice of the virtues taught in the mysteries of Your
Divine Childhood. I beg You to help me by Your grace to acquire the gentleness,
the humility, the childlike simplicity, the filial confidence and the perfect
obedience, of which you give me such a splendid example.
