Prayer before a Crèche – Oración antes un Pesebre
John Predmore, S.J. By
Lord Jesus, Señor Jesus,
together with the shepherds juntos con los pastores
we draw near to your crib. nos acercamos a tu cuna.
We contemplate you, Nosotros te contemplamos,
wrapped in swaddling cloths envuelto en pañales
and lying in the manger. y acostado en un pesebre.
O Babe of Bethlehem, O Niño de Belén,
we adore you in silence with Mary, te adoramos en silencio con Maria,
your ever-Virgin Mother. tu Madre siempre-Virgen.
To you be glory and praise forever, A ti sea la gloria y la alabanza por siempre,
O Savior of the world. Amen. oh Salvador del mundo. Amen.
