O Divine Child Jesus! I come before You, moved by love and by hope; and I beg You to look mercifully into my troubled heart. Let Your own tender Love, always inclined to compassion, mitigate my troubles and alleviate my sufferings. Take from me, if it be Your Will, all unbearable afflictions; and let me never surrender to despair. Grant me, dear Child Jesus, the special grace I ask from You today in all humility and with a loving trust; and for the sake of Your Sacred Childhood, always hear my prayers.
Through Your Holy Mother Mary, I consecrate myself to Your Sacred Heart. I am all Yours. My body is Yours, for You created it. My soul is Yours, for You redeemed it with the price of Your Precious Blood. I proclaim You as my Lord, my Savior, my King, and my true Friend. I adore You as my God and my Sovereign.
O Divine Child Jesus, give me Your love and send me Your blessing, now and for all eternity. Be generous with Your aid and consolation, that through Mary, our Mother, I may always praise You, and the Father, and the Holy Spirit, God forever and ever. Amen.
V. O Mary conceived without sin,
R. Pray for us who have recourse to thee.
From The Knights’ Prayer Book.
Devotion to the Divine Child Jesus (Divino Niño) began in 1935 in the 20 de Julio neighborhood of Bogotá, Colombia, where the Salesian priest Fr. Juan del Rizzo spread devotion to the Child Jesus among the poor of his parish (EWTN).
In the United States the devotion has grown in recent times, in large part thanks to Mother Angelica, the foundress of EWTN, and her fervent devotion to the Divine Child.
In 1995 Mother Angelica traveled to Bogotá, Colombia, and visited the Sanctuary of the Divine Child. While praying there she heard the words, “Build Me a temple and I will help those who help you.” That request led to the Shrine of the Most Blessed Sacrament in Hanceville, Alabama, built beside the monastery of her Poor Clares of Perpetual Adoration, where pilgrims adore Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament.
