Feast Day of Saint Joachim: The Father of the Virgin Mary and Patron Saint of Fathers and the Childless
Prayer to Baby Jesus for Humility
O Jesus, Prince of Peace and King of the Universe, you chose to humble yourself and come into the world, not as a powerful ruler, but as a helpless infant; grant us the grace of humility and gentleness before you and our brothers and sisters.
Grant, too, O Lord, that we may always strive to achieve the virtue and innocence of your own Holy Childhood. Instill in us a growing faith in you, O Lord, and the strength to resist temptation in a world which so widely rejects you.
Look upon us with compassion and forgive us our sins. Fill our hearts with kindness and understanding, especially for children, the aged and those we dislike or who dislike us.
