Jesus the Word made flesh, Have mercy on us.

Jesus who tookst upon thee the form of a servant,

Jesus who didst visit and gladden John in his mother’s womb,

Jesus born of the Virgin Mary,

Jesus wrapped in swaddling clothes,

Jesus laid in a manger,

Jesus suckled at a Virgin’s breast,

Jesus shown to Shepherds in the manger,

Jesus, of thy own will, obedient to the law of Circumcision,

Jesus adored by the Magi,

Jesus presented in the temple,

Jesus taken into the arms of just Simeon,

Jesus carried down into Egypt,

Jesus whom Herod sought to destroy,

Jesus brought up at Nazareth,

Jesus found in the temple among the doctors,

Jesus subject to thy parents,

Jesus baptised by John,

Jesus tempted in the desert,

Jesus who conversedst with men,

Jesus who chosest for thy disciples men ignorant and poor,

Jesus who mercifully aidedst all the sick,

Jesus transfigured on the Mount in the presence of the Fathers,

Jesus who didst weep for compassion over Jerusalem,

Jesus who enteredst into Jerusalem as her meek King,

Jesus, who in zeal for the house of God, didst cast out them that sold and bought therein,

Jesus sold for thirty pieces of silver,

Jesus who stoopedst to wash thy disciples’ feet,

Jesus who didst eat the Pasch with thy disciples,

Jesus who hast given us thy body to eat and thy Blood to drink,

Jesus prostrate in prayer,
