 M ESSAGE
Who’s not in search for a deeper meaning
in life? When one stops searching, one
ceases to grow spiritually.
Today, more than ever, one needs to always
look for models – for inspiration. No mat-
ter who that is, as long as it leads one to
real joy and happiness, one is in the right
direction.
The Holy Child Jesus teaches us what it
takes to be what we are and will be – to be
real! What could be more real but being
free from corruption, dishonesty, exploita-
tion and all forms of sinfulness. And what
would be more real but loving and caring
for the people around us and loving our
country. And what could be more real but
taking responsibility for others – no matter
what their belief and cultures are.
The Holy Child Jesus is so simple a child
but His simplicity mirrors a challenge for a
greater spiritual growth to each and every-
one of us. Let’s do it. Now.

SEÑOR SANTO NIÑO
(Source: Original Novena Prayer
of Santo Nino de Cebu)
Oh Señor Santo Nino, you are our
king and our God, we worship
you, you are our strong defender,
we turn to you. You have made
extraordinary wonders through
your miraculous image in these
chosen islands. Remember us.
Look down at these poor souls
who come to you for help, lead
us with your wisdom, discipline
us with your truth, console us
with your tenderness, protect us
with your might. We consecrate
today our thoughts to you, only
of you shall they be occupied,
our words, only of you shall they
speak, our sufferings, that we
may endure them for your sake.
We beg you Señor Santo Nino,
illumine our understanding, kindle
our will, cleanse our body and
sanctify our soul. We wish what
you wish because you wish as
You wish, as long as you wish.
Grant us Señor Santo Nino that
we may feel love towards you,
be strict towards ourselves, be
zealous towards our fellowmen
and rightly despise the things of
the world. Help us to overcome
sensuality with strict discipline,
avariciousness with generosity,
anger with gentleness, and indo-
lence with zealous industry. Make
us wise in counsel, courageous
in danger, patient in adversity,
humble in prosperity. Teach us
dear Santo Nino, how worthless is
the world, how sublime is heaven,
how brief is time and how long is
eternity. Grant us lastly, that we
may remember you, adore you,
love you and serve you here on
earth and that we may be happy
with you, forever and ever in
heaven, Amen.

PRAYER FOR FINANCIAL AID
(Source: Novena Prayer of the

Realizing dear Mother, that you
are our Perpetual Help, not only
in spiritual, but also in temporal
necessities. We ask you to help
us in our present financial worries
because of unavoidable circum-
stances that have arisen in our
lives. We are in great want and
financial embarrassment, since
we are unable to meet our honest
debts. We are not asking dear-
est Mother of Perpetual Help for
wealth, if the possession of it is
not in accordance with the will of
God, we merely ask you for that
assistance, which will help us
settle our present obligations. We
believe dear Mother of God, that
you are extremely kind and gen-
erous to all your loving and de-
voted children. We plead with you
dear Mother, to obtain for us the
help, which we urgently need, we
are trying so earnestly to solve
our problems, but we believe in
your powerful intercession with
the Lord Jesus Christ, your Son
and our Redeemer, Amen.

dence, I come unto you, know-
ing that you will give me graces,
repenting for my sins and asking
that you will free me from its fet-
ters. I now give my heart entirely
to you. I firmly propose to amend
my ways and never to offend
you again. I resolve to patiently
suffer all for you, so as to serve
you eternally. For you I will love
my neighbors as myself, I implore
you, Sweetest Jesus, help me
in my needs, so that I may en-
joy with you for all eternity, with
Mother Mary, St. Joseph and all
the angels, Amen.
CONCLUDING PRAYER

hearts. Let your tender love so in-
clined to pity, be softened by our
prayers and grant us that grace
for which we ardently implore.
Take from us all unbearable afflic-
tions and despair for your Sacred
Infancy’s sake, hear our prayers

 P rayer to Señor Santo Niño
For The Sanctification of Families
Divine Child, give all married couples a holy disposition in the raising
of their children. Help them to be models of their faith so that their
children will learn from their good example.

I pray that all homes be a place where children are showered with love,
understanding and guidance, but most especially, that their homes not
be a house, but a place of refuge where they find shelter and refuge in
the loving arms of their parents and that their home may foster the
practice of the virtues.

Glorious Son of Mary Immaculate, while providing for all the basic
needs of their families, may all parents never forget that love is of ut-
most importance and that such as the body needs nourishment to stay
healthy and alive the soul and spiritual life need nourishment as well.
While taking care of our bodies, the Temple of the Holy Spirit, may we
not neglect that Who lives within our souls.

Dearest Señor Santo Niño, please make our home Your home. Be that
invisible yet ever present guest around our table during our meals so
that no conversation displeases You. Come and lay Your little head
upon our pillows and keep us all safe until the morning comes. Walk
with us throughout the day and may Your little feet bless our home
and make it holy. May our home be a place of refuge for all who enter.

As for my immediate family, I ask that you bestow on them the follow-
ing graces [mention graces]. I place within Your heart the following
needs of my family [here make your personal petition]. I am confident
Señor Santo Niño, that You hear my plea of supplication and that You
will grant my petitions if it is in line with the Lord’s desire for our sal-
vation.

Impart all blessings and graces on each member of my family. May

each member of my household learn to imitate the Holy Family of
Nazareth so that they may come to know the wonder of praising You
and contemplating You for all eternity. Amen.
