Epiphany prayer to be recited today to ask Jesus for help

O God alive and true,

that you have revealed the incarnation of your Word

with the appearance of a star

and you led the Magi to worship him

and to bring him generous gifts,

make that star of justice

do not set sunsets in the sky of our souls,

and the treasure to offer you consists

in the testimony of life.

Amen.

O most perfect worshipers of the newborn Messiah,
Holy Magi, true models of Christian courage,
that nothing appalled you about the arduous journey
and that readily at the sign of the star
followed the divine aspirations,
obtain for us all the grace that in your imitation
always have to go to Jesus Christ
and to worship him with lively faith when we enter his house,
and we continually offer him the gold of charity,
the incense of prayer, the myrrh of penance,
and we never decline from the path of holiness,
that Jesus taught us so well with his own example,
even before with their own lessons;
and do, o Holy Magi, that we can deserve from the Divine Redeemer
his chosen blessings here on earth
and then the possession of eternal glory.
So be it.
