IX

Jesus Christ practiced the individual, domestic, religious, and social virtues. He restores man and woman, the family, and civil society. He renews the people of God. He worthily glorifies the Father in a life lived in humility, obedience, prayer, and work (see Lk 2:39–52).

May you be blessed, O Divine Master, because you made yourself like us in order to make us more like God. You repaired the ruin caused by the devil and by our passions.
You showed us that we can inherit divine happiness if we live a life modeled after yours. Grant that we may know you, imitate you, and love you.

Glory to God . . .
Jesus Master . . .
