ACT OF CONTRITION
(To be recited daily)
Oh, my Dear Jesus! You are our King and our God, because of Your love for us You came down from heaven born of the Virgin Mary. My heart weeps, for in spite of Your goodness we have committed many sins. Forgive us, Oh Jesus, for our sin of ingratitude in return for Your goodness. Strengthen our will to resist temptation and sin. With Your Grace we will be able to fulfill our promises and share with Your glory in heaven.
Oh, Holy Child Jesus, who is ever good and loving, we kneel before You, our true God. With humility we implore You to give us Your mercy and grant us all the favors we ask of you in this NOVENA, so that we will enjoy the blessings of heaven. AMEN.

We ask You this in Your holy name. Amen.

Oh, sweet and merciful Jesus! Senor Santo Nino, the source of all goodness, We kneel before Your sacred image, imploring Your Divine aid for universal peace and brotherhood among all men, enlighten the unbelievers and the heathens so that they will believe You as their true God.

Senor Santo Nino Hymn
E. Perez S. Ezcurra
(Standing)
VERSE 1
One day to these Islands * As gift and in pledge * God sent You to us * O beloved Child * And always You have been * The light of our souls * The guide of our people * The flame in our hearts.
( Refrain):
Senor Santo Nino, with Your scepter Guide our people who hail You King forever, Filipinas is Your kingdom. Senor Santo Nino, in Your hand The world finds its rest; proclaim Your truth and justice, bring to men Your peace and love.
VERSE 2
The ship You were sailing * Arrived at our shores * To conquer this land, * The Pearl of the seas: * But You had decided * To stay in this soil * To conquer our people * And give us a name.
VERSE 3
The queen and the rajah, * Accepting the faith, * Received You in their arms * And fell on their knees; * They welcomed Your Presence * And called on Your Name * To ask for Your blessing * And help in their needs.
VERSE 4
More ships in the Orient * With soldiers arrived; * And searching for gold, * They found You instead; * Legaspi, Urdaneta, the rajah, the queen * Their subjects, our people, * Proclaimed You their King.
VERSE 5
Now one as a nation * We pay You respect * Our people did pledge * A long time ago * We ask You to hear * The prayers of all: * The sad and forsaken, * The poor and the sick .
