Since the child did not seem willing to recite the Hail Mary alone, our catechist, who did not want to lose this opportunity of fulfilling her mission of making Our Lady known and loved, suggested another idea: she invited him to visit Saint Mary’s Church every day. In fact, the Basilica of Saint Mary Major is quite near the house of the Dorothean Sisters. Was it shortly before or after the apparition of the Child Jesus, on December 10? We do not know. In any case, the little postulant taught the child this beautiful and short prayer which was surely her own as well, her most frequent and fervent prayer of this Advent of 1925. "O my Mother in Heaven, give me Your Child Jesus." And she went away. "If what I say to you is done, many souls will be saved and there will be peace … I will come to ask for … the Communion of Reparation on the First Saturdays of the month."

Kwa kweli, Kanisa Kuu la Maria Mtakatifu liko karibu kabisa na nyumba ya Masista wa Mtakatifu Dorothea. Je, ilikuwa muda mfupi tu kabla au baada ya kutokewa na Mtoto Yesu tarehe 10 Desemba? Hatujui. Hata hivyo, mpostulanti huyu mdogo alimfundisha mtoto mdogo huyu sala hii nzuri na fupi ambayo ilikuwa ya kwake vile vile, sala yake ya kila mara na yenye nguvu kuliko zote katika mwaka 1925. "Ee Mama yangu wa Mbinguni, nipe Mwanao Mtoto Yesu. Na baada ya hapo aliondoka.
