no sweet harmonies, no hosts of angels musterin g around Thy crib revealed Thy divine nature; but the star shining abo ve Thy wretched stable pointed to the Heavens, the earth, and the enti re universe as Thine absolute possessions; even as the Magi, who at th e inspiration of Thy grace, coming promptly from afar, caring naught f or dangers, overcoming every difficulty, and embracing every sacrifice , reached Thy feet and kneeling in reverence offered Thee gifts of gol d, frankincense and myrrh.  Thirsting for God, they had gone eagerly in search of Thee, and Thou did reveal Thyself to them in a wonderful manner, while still in Thy crib, filling them with joy and transformin g them into the first messengers of Thy glories to the peoples of the East.\r\nAfter the appearance of the star, which sufficed to render  the Magi Thy ardent followers, O Jesus, did Thou demonstrate Thy divin ity!  Yet what darkness still overshadows our poor minds!  How reluc tantly our wills give way to the loving impulses of Thy grace, even wh en they do not openly resist Thee!  Give us, therefore, O Jesus, the strength to reply ever promptly and generously to Thy call, and grant that the divine light of faith, which was enkindled by Thee within us while still in our cradles, may ever accompany us on the road of life, until, blessed at last in Heaven, we shall be able to fix our eyes up on Thee in the light of glory.    +Amen\r\n \r\nFor all Crusader m embers needs and intentions both temporal and spiritual during this Ne w Year. \r\n\r\n \r\n\n\nFor more information visit https://op54rosar y.ning.com/events/novena-for-epiphany-5 DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20171228T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20180105T235900 CATEGORIES:"for all members' intentions" LOCATION:worldwide WEBSITE: URL: CONTACT: ORGANIZER;CN=Cathleen:https://op54rosary.ning.com/profile/CathleenWelt e ATTACH;FMTTYPE="image/jpeg":http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/ file/get/2286374012?profile=original ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN="Kate Jac kson":https://op54rosary.ning.com/profile/KateJackson ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN="bernadet te szczepkowski":https://op54rosary.ning.com/profile/bernadetteszczepk owski ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN="Charibel R Hilario":https://op54rosary.ning.com/profile/CharibelRHilario ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN="Judy Mul ler":https://op54rosary.ning.com/profile/JudyMuller ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN=AnnaMaria :https://op54rosary.ning.com/profile/AnnaMaria ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN="Katharin e,O de M":https://op54rosary.ning.com/profile/KatharineBallanceOCDS ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN=Jacquelin e:https://op54rosary.ning.com/profile/Jacqueline ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN="William N Conti":https://op54rosary.ning.com/profile/WilliamNConti ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN="Nestor C arvalho":https://op54rosary.ning.com/profile/NestorCarvalho ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN="Jon Hall iwell":https://op54rosary.ning.com/profile/JonCrichtonHalliwell ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN="Flavia T alladen Schott":https://op54rosary.ning.com/profile/FlaviaTalladenScho tt ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN="marline crooks":https://op54rosary.ning.com/profile/marlinecrooks ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN=Gloria:ht tps://op54rosary.ning.com/profile/GloriaIllies ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN="AURA CID L F FERREIRA DE BRITTO":https://op54rosary.ning.com/profile/AURACIDLF FERREIRADEBRITTO ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN=Margie:ht tps://op54rosary.ning.com/profile/MargieTiritilli ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN=Alley:htt ps://op54rosary.ning.com/profile/AlleyAlderete549 ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN="Mrs Mary Jo Holtschlag":https://op54rosary.ning.com/profile/MrsMaryJoHoltschla g ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN="Cindy Pa tterson":https://op54rosary.ning.com/profile/CindyPatterson ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN="Lisa Pat rick":https://op54rosary.ning.com/profile/LisaPatrick ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN="Amanda, T.O de M":https://op54rosary.ning.com/profile/Amanda_s ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN="Maria An gela Grow":https://op54rosary.ning.com/profile/MariaAngelaGrow ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN="Susan L.
