Prayer to the Dear Child of Grace

O little Child of Loreto,
mighty and wonderful,
be my small,
great helper always!
Be my light on all dark days,
be my counsel in all anxious questions!

Little Child,
bless the hard toil of my daily work,
bless the quiet glow
of my love!
And the people You have given me
to accompany me through this earthly life!

Heal the wounds that life has dealt,
strengthen my soul that has borne much suffering!
Let me recognize Your love even then,
when affliction burns deep in my heart!

Grant me health and my daily bread,
keep far from me worry, misfortune, fear and distress!
Be merciful to me one day at the judgment,
call me to rest in eternal light!
