1⃣ NOVENA TO INFANT JESUS OF PRAGUE
DAY 8 - FEBRUARY 6
Together with the cross, I see on Your breast, O Child Jesus, a little golden heart. It is the image of Your heart, which is truly golden on account of its infinite tenderness. You are the true friend, that generously gives Himself, even immolates Himself, for the one He loves. Continue to pour out on me, O Jesus, the enthusiasm which Your love inspires and teach me to respond always to Your great love.
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be...
By Your Divine Infancy, O! Jesus, grant me the grace that I now ask (State your intentions here…) if it is according to Your will and for my true good. Do not look upon my unworthiness, but rather on my faith and show me Your infinite mercy.
Blessed be the name of the Lord
R. Now and forever.
PRAYER

Infant Jesus of Prague, have mercy on us.
