I give thee thanks for thy most sacred Nativity, when

thou didst come forth from the womb of the Virgin Mary,
a tender Infant, in a stable, on a rough and bleak winter’s
night. Hail, thou sweetest Babe; hail, thou King of Glory,
Light of the nations, Saviour so long desired, who didst
not disdain to be wrapped for me in swaddling clothes,
to be swathed with bands, to be lad on straw in a
manger, and to draw thy sustenance from the Virgin’s
breast.
I give thee thanks for thy painful Circumcision, for thy
Manifestation to the Gentiles and the bright star with
which thou didst bring them to thy feet, for thy
Presentation in the Temple, for the Flight into Egypt, and
for all the privations and sufferings thou didst endure in
thy most holy infancy, thy boyhood, and thy youth.

I give the thanks for the sacred and worshipful Baptism

which thou, the Creator of heaven and of earth, didst so
humbly receive from thy servant John, for the Fast of
forty days and forty nights wherewith thou wast afflicted
and exhausted in the wilderness, and for all the foul
temptations wherewith thou didst not refuse to be
assailed by the devil.
I give thee thanks for thy saving doctrine, for the miracles
thou didst work, and the benefits thou didst bestow on
the world, for thy journeyings, thy labours, and thy
sorrows, for the hunger and the thirst, the cold and the
heat thou didst endure, and for the manifold
persecutions wherewith thou didst deign to be harassed
for my salvation. 235
