Behold the dear Infant Jesus, and adore Him fervently. Contemplate
His poverty, and humility, in imitation of His most holy Mother and of
Saint Joseph. Repose near Him as sweetly as you can, He will not fail to love
your heart, void as you find it of tenderness and feeling. Nothing will be
wanting to you, since you will be in the presence of that holy Infant.
Abide there, and learn of Him how meek and humble He is, how simple
and amiable. See how lovingly He has written your name in the
depth of His Divine Heart, which beats on that couch of straw from the
impassioned zeal it has for our advancement, and heaves not one single sigh
unto His Father in which you have not a part, nor a single movement of His
spirit except for your happiness.
