Epiphany Novena
Eighth day
O holy Magi,
who, when warned by an angel not to return to Herod, travelled back to your
country by another road; obtain for us from the Lord the grace that, after
having found Him by true repentance, we may avoid all danger of losing Him
again.
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.
