Novena to the Magi in Anticipation of the Epiphany
The Novena to the Magi is a traditional nine-day Catholic devotion beginning on December 28 that honors the Three Wise Men as they journeyed to find the Christ Child. It invites the faithful to reflect on themes of faith, persistence, and humility while preparing for the Feast of the Epiphany.
Day 1
In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. 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 (mention request here…) Amen. 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 Son of justice. Obtain for me 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 (mention request here…) Prayer to the Infant Jesus Infant Jesus, meek and mild, look upon me as Thy little child. Look with pity upon me; Suffer me to come to Thee. Heart of Jesus, I adore Thee. Heart of Mary, I implore Thee. Heart of Joseph, pure and just. In these three hearts, I put my trust. Help us Joseph in our early strife, ever to lead a pure and blameless life. O, Holy Magi, pray for us. Amen. Our Father Hail Mary Glory beIn the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
