O, Jesus, True God, 
Beginning human life 
In the womb of Mary, 
I come to You in Your first moments, 
O powerful Babe.

Mother Mary’s “Fiat” 
Brought the Father’s Will to Earth, 
Wrapped in the stuff of Man, 
Purity’s Flesh emerging as cells divide.

I come to You, God-Man, 
In Your holy beginning, 
Awaiting, with all creation, 
The formation of Your Sacred Heart 
In Time.

O, Happy Fruition, 
O, Incarnate Son, 
In Mary’s virginal womb, 
Bless with inner healing 
The whole of my life. 
Bring to my concupiscence 
Conformity to the Father’s Will.

I am the least in my Father’s house, 
But by my spiritual visitation, 
My willing presence, 
In the nascent Being of the Christ, 
One, so small and mean as me, 
Can find a home 
As the Heart of Jesus 
Is formed and fired.

O, powerful Babe, 
O, pure and holy Fetus, 
I trust in You 
From Your beginning 
As Prophet, Priest and King, 
To bring me, 
And all creation, 
To a happy end. 
Amen
