Señor Santo Niño, You are our King and our God; we worship You. You are our strong Defender; we turn to You. You are the Protector of Cebu and the Philippines; we come to You.
You have done extraordinary wonders through Your miraculous image in these chosen islands. Remember us. Look down on this poor soul who comes to You for help. Lead us with Your wisdom, discipline us with Your truth, console us with Your tenderness, protect us with Your might.
We consecrate today our thoughts to You: only with You shall they be occupied; our words: only of You shall they speak; our sufferings: that we may endure them for Your sake. We beg You, Señor Santo Niño, illumine our understanding, kindle our will, cleanse our body, sanctify our soul. We wish what You wish, because You wish it, as You wish it, as long as You wish it.
Grant us, Señor Santo Niño, that we may be loving toward You, strict toward ourselves, zealous toward our fellow men, and rightly despise the things of the world. Help us to overcome sensuality with strict discipline, avarice with generosity, anger with gentleness, indolence with zealous industry. Make us wise in counsel, courageous in danger, patient in adversity and humble in prosperity.
Teach us, dear Santo Niño, how worthless is the world, how sublime is heaven, how brief is time, how long is eternity. Grant us, lastly, that we may remember You, adore You, love You and serve You here on earth, that we may be happy with You for ever and ever in heaven. Amen.
Holy God, we praise Thy name; Lord of all, we bow before Thee! All on earth Thy sceptre claim, all in heaven above adore Thee; infinite Thy vast domain, everlasting is Thy reign.
Hark! the loud celestial hymn angel choirs above are raising; cherubim and seraphim, in unceasing chorus praising, fill the heavens with sweet accord: Holy, holy, holy, Lord!
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come; thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
TananGive us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
TananHoly Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
TananAs it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
Lord, have mercy. Christ, have mercy. Lord, have mercy. Jesus, hear us. Jesus, graciously hear us.
In every need, let us come to You with humble trust, in all our doubts, perplexities and temptations, in hours of loneliness, weariness and trials, in the failure of our plans and hopes, in disappointments, troubles and sorrows, when others fail us and Your grace alone can assist us, when we throw ourselves on Your tender love as our only refuge, when our heart is cast down by failures, when we are ill, and our head and hands cannot work, and we are lonely, when we feel impatient and our cross irritates us, always, always, in spite of weakness, falls and shortcomings of every kind,
TananSanto Niño, help us.
Lamb of God, who take away the sins of the world, spare us, O Lord. Lamb of God, who take away the sins of the world, graciously hear us, O Lord. Lamb of God, who take away the sins of the world, have mercy upon us, O Jesus. Jesus, hear us. Jesus, graciously hear us.
O Santo Niño, who said, “Ask, and you shall receive; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you,” give, we beseech You, to us who ask, the gift of Your divine love, that we may love You with our whole heart, in word and in work, and never cease from showing forth Your praise.
Make us, O Lord, to have a perpetual fear and love of Your holy name, for You never fail to govern those whom You solidly establish in Your love, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
O miraculous Santo Niño, prostrate before Your sacred image, we beseech You to cast a merciful look on our troubled hearts. Let Your tender love, so inclined to pity, be softened by our prayers, and grant us the grace which we ardently implore of You. Take from us all unbearable affliction and despair.
For Your sacred infancy’s sake, hear our prayers and send us consolation and aid, that we may praise You, with the Father and the Holy Spirit, for ever and ever. Amen.
