Feasts of Our Lady's Birth and Holy Name

 I regret not having posted this prayer earlier.  It was one I found in a book of Italian prayers, and it was so beautiful, I just had to translate and share it!  Sweet little Mary, pray for us! 

Prayer to the Infant Mary

Hail Mary Child, little One of the Father, your face radiates the Divine Grace of God as the moon reflects the sun. While you sleep, the angels around your cradle sing sweet melodies. Help me to call Him Father and to respect His commandments.

Hail, Child Mary, modest dawn of the Holy Ghost, your approval, you will one day give to the angel who kneels by your side. While I wander like a lost sheep along the path of life, place your tiny and delicate hand in mine and lead me to the eternal abode .

Hail Mary Child, Virgin and Mother of the Son, now your young life rests in the cradle. One day, you will stand under the Cross in the depths of pain. O my God, Holy and Triune, I love to meditate on Thy existence as I love to sing to Thy little Child Blessed Mary, who is Thy Daughter and also Thy pure Spouse and Mother of Thy Son.
