Child of Bethlehem



CHILD OF BETHLEHEM
By Pope John XXIII

O sweet Child of Bethlehem,
grant that we may share with
all our hearts in this profound
mystery of Christmas.
Put into the hearts of
men and women this peace
for which they sometimes seek
so desperately and which you alone
can give to them.
Help them to know
one another better,
and to live as brothers and sisters,
children of the same Father.
Reveal to them also your beauty,
holiness and purity.
Awaken in their hearts
love and gratitude for your
infinite goodness.
Join them all together in your love.
And give us your heavenly peace.
