EPIPHANY NOVENA
(December 28 -January 5)
O holy Magi! You were living in continual expectation of the rising of the Star of Jacob, which would announce the birth of the true Sun of justice; obtain for us an increase of faith and charity, and the grace to live in continual hope of beholding one day the light of heavenly glory and eternal joy.
Glory be
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
PRAYER
I salute Thee,
O divine Heart, with the three Magi who offered their homage to Thee. Regard
me, I beseech Thee, with the same love and kindness with which Thou didst
receive them, that I may offer with my heart, gold, frankincense and myrrh; that
is to say, my intellect, my memory and my will, in complete subjection to Thee,
in faith, hope, charity, in thought, word and deed. Accept my offering, accept
my heart, and grant that I may live and die thanking Thee for the invaluable
favor of being called to the true faith. Hence, I beg of Thee, by the joy which
filled Thy heart, when Thou didst see the first of the Gentiles at Thy feet, to
hear my prayer and grant the request I make in this Novena. Amen.
