Epiphany Poem - Crib Visit Extended

The star burned like a flame, pointing the way to God, the King of kings; the wise men saw the sign and brought their gifts in homage to their great King.

Antiphon 3 of I Vespers of Epiphany

Nuns in chapel before First Vespers of Epiphany

Crib Visit Extended

I came I continue to stay adoring

I saw I continue to behold admiring

I heard I continue to ponder silently

I prayed I continue to contemplate attentively

I loved I continue to embrace peacefully

I promised I continue to be faithful joyfully

I rejoiced I continue to celebrate devotedly

I knelt I continue to adore faithfully

I gave I continue to give generously
