THE DIVINE BIRTH
4. Cradle Prayer.
Before closing this consideration, approach Mary and ask Her to let you hold Her Son in your arms for a few moments. Entertain Him. Press Him against your heart and tell Him that He is enthroned there forever. Ask Him to leave His cradle and the manger for the palace of your soul where you will give Him warmth and comfort. Ask Him to teach you how to love His Mother and ask His Mother to teach you how to love Her Son.
Remember that the life of Jesus began with a glance at Mary, as it ended on the cross with a glance at Her. Do you not think that this is a hint for you, telling you that the whole of your life should unfold itself under Her eyes? Learn how to look at Her and remember that you are under Her constant watch.
