On this day our Savior was adored by the Magi. Let us also worship him with joy as we pray:
Save the poor, O Lord.
King of the nations, you called the Magi to adore you as the first representatives of the nations,
— give us a willing spirit of adoration and service.
Save the poor, O Lord.
King of glory, you judge your people with justice,
— grant mankind an abundant measure of peace.
Save the poor, O Lord.
King of ages, you endure from age to age,
— send your word as fresh spring rain falling on our hearts.
Save the poor, O Lord.
King of justice, you desire to free the poor who have no advocate,
— be compassionate to the suffering and the afflicted.
Save the poor, O Lord.
Lord, your name is blessed for all ages,
— show the wonders of your saving power to our deceased brothers and sisters.
Save the poor, O Lord.
