O Holy Child,
by the privileges granted to you alone
and by the merits which you have acquired,
be merciful to me this day.
Show that the source of spiritual favors
and the continuous benefits
which you dispense are inexhaustible,
because your power with the Heart of God is unlimited.
Grant me my petition and I shall eternally praise the goodness of your heart.
