Maria BambinaLet us pray:

O beloved of God, most Holy Infant Mary, do thou hear and answer me. Thou didst consecrate thy entire self from thy very childhood to the love of thy God; obtain that I, during the time that I have yet to be on earth, may live for God alone. Do thou obtain for me from thy Divine Son the grace to follow His command to strip myself of all pride and to "convert and become as a little child," living always in the spirit of humble obedience.

On this day, in union with thee -- most Holy Infant Mary, I renounce all creatures and the spirit of the world, and I consecrate myself entirely to the love of my Lord. I also offer myself to thee, my Immaculate Queen, to serve thee always. Accept me as thy devoted servant in an especial manner, and obtain for me the grace to be faithful to thee and to thy Son at every moment of my life, that I may one day praise thee and love thee for all eternity in Heaven. Amen.
V. O Holy Infant Mary,
R. Intercede for us who have recourse to thee!
