The “O Antiphons” are ancient pleas or antiphons or verses of prayer used to assist the faithful in our immediate preparation during the days leading up to the celebration of the Birth of the Lord Jesus.
O Sapientia: “O Wisdom, O holy Word of God,
you govern all creation with your strong yet tender care.
Come and show your people the way to salvation.”
“Advent’s intention is to awaken
the most profound and basic emotional memory within us,
namely, the memory of the God who became a child.
This is a healing memory; it brings hope.”
– Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger (Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI), Seek That Which is Above
Ancient tradition has the Church rejoicing with delightful expectation from December 17th to 23rd…calling forth the presence of Emmanuel!
