Novena in Preparation for the
Epiphany
of Our Lord
January 1
Fifth day
O holy Magi, who were gladdened by the reappearance of the star which
led you to Bethlehem; obtain for us from God the grace, that, remaining always
faithful to Him in afflictions, we may be consoled in time by His grace, and in
eternity by His glory.
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.
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.
