 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,
