Praised be Thou, O Lord my God! Graciously grant that this
infant be fed from the breast of Thy tender mercy and loving providence and
be nourished with the fruit of Thy celestial trees. Suffer him not to be
committed to the care of anyone save Thee, inasmuch as Thou, Thyself,
through the potency of thy sovereign will and power, didst create and call
him into being. There is none other God but Thee, the Almighty, the
All-Knowing.
Lauded art Thou, O my Best Beloved, waft over him the sweet savors of Thy
transcendent bounty and the fragrances of Thy holy bestowals. Enable him
then to seek shelter beneath the shadow of Thy most exalted Name, O Thou Who
holdest in Thy grasp the kingdom of names and attributes. Verily, Thou art
potent to do what Thou willest, and Thou art indeed the Mighty, the Exalted,
the Ever-Forgiving, the Gracious, the Generous, the Merciful.
