# Novena to the Infant Jesus O dearest Jesus, who loves us so tenderly, Your greatest joy is to dwell among us and to bless us. Though I am not worthy that You should look upon me with love, I am drawn to You, dear Infant Jesus, because You gladly forgive me and exercise Your almighty power for my good. So many who have turned to You with confidence have received graces and had their prayers answered. Here I am. In spirit I kneel before Your miraculous image in Prague and open my heart to You with all its prayers, petitions, and hopes. I entrust to Your loving Heart my intentions and my deepest needs. Guide me and all that belongs to me according to Your holy will, for I know that in Your divine wisdom and love You will arrange everything for the best. Almighty and gracious Infant Jesus, do not withdraw Your hand from us, but protect and bless us always. I ask You, sweetest Infant, in the name of Your Blessed Mother Mary, who cared for You with such tenderness, and through the reverence with which Saint Joseph carried You in his arms, comfort me and grant my petition, that I may bless and thank You forever with all my heart. Amen. In spirit I kneel before Your miraculous image in Prague. Indulgence: This prayer is indulgenced according to the Enchiridion Indulgentiarum, concessio 22 § 1° (novena).
