Praying in front of the crib

We have a beautiful Infant Jesus with arms held out so you just want to pick up this smiling baby and hold him. I think I am just doing that during my afternoon hour of prayer in the Chapel. I do not actually dare to pick up the image of the Infant Jesus, but, in my imagination I am holding the baby and loving this helpless, vulnerable child.
I am also thinking how God speaks to us in silence.
