Thank you Father Mike for everything you do for us ❤ You inspired me a lot. I came to know Christ in jail in 2013 by reading a book, "Overcoming spiritual blindness" by James P. Gills MD.

O miraculous Child Jesus!
We come before your sacred Image, moved By Love and by Hope and we beseech You to look mercifully into our troubled heart.
Let your own tender Love,
always inclined to compassion,
mitigate our troubles and alleviate our sufferings.
Take from us if it be Your Will, all unbearable afflictions and let us never surrender to despair.
Grant us Dear Child Jesus,
the special grace we ask from You today in all humility
and with a loving trust
and for the sake of Your Sacred Infancy, always hear our prayers.
Be generous with Your aid and consolation,
that we may praise You,
and the Father,
and the Holy Spirit.
Amen
