Powerful Chaplet of the Holy Infant of Jesus
ABOUT THE CHAPLET OF THE HOLY INFANT JESUS:
The devotion of the Chaplet of the Holy Infant Jesus was revealed to the Ven. Sr Margaret of the Blessed Sacrament, a Carmelite nun who died at Beaune, France, on May 26, 1648. The Divine Infant made known to Sr Margaret that He would grant special graces to those who practise this devotion. As a sign of His approval, He showed her the chaplet shining with supernatural light.
HOW TO PRAY THE CHAPLET:
The Chaplet of the Holy Infant Jesus includes three “Our Fathers” in honour of the Holy Family and 12 “Hail Marys” in memory of the 12 years of the childhood of Jesus.
With your heart filled with love and gratitude for all the Infant Jesus has accomplished for your salvation, devoutly recite His holy chaplet in the following manner. While meditating on the goodness of the Infant Jesus, whose Image is portrayed on the medal, say:
ON THE MEDAL PRAY:
Divine Infant Jesus, I adore Your Cross, and I accept all the crosses You will be pleased to send me. Adorable Trinity, I offer You, for the glory of the Holy Name of God, all the adorations of the Sacred Heart of the Holy Infant Jesus.
On each of the three following beads, this invocation is said:
And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us.
Our Father
Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name; Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.
Follow each aspiration with an “Our Father” in honour of the Holy Family.
On each of the 12 beads, recite the same aspiration:
“And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us.”
Hail Mary
Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou amongst women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
Follow each aspiration with a “Hail Mary” in honour of the 12 years of Our Lord’s sacred Infancy.
In conclusion, recite the “Glory be to the Father…” And the invocation:
Glory Be
Glory be to the Father,
and to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit,
as it was in the beginning,
is now, and ever shall be,
world without end. Amen
“Holy Infant Jesus, bless and protect us.”

We ask this of you, who, with the Father and the Holy Spirit, lives and reigns God, forever and ever. Amen.
