O Lord Jesus, Who didst allow the greatness of Thine
incarnate Divinity and most sacred humanity to be born in time, to
become a little Child, and to suffer bitter death, grant that we may
acknowledge infinite wisdom in the silence of a child, power in
weakness, majesty in abasement, so that adoring Thy humility and
littleness on earth we may contemplate Thy glories in Heaven. We ask
this of Thee, Who, with the Father and the Holy Spirit, lives and
reigns God, forever and ever. Amen.
