ADVENT DEVOTIONALS

THE GREAT O ANTIPHONS

Join the whole Church, ancient and modern, in preparing for and adoring Almighty God, incarnate in Jesus

The O-Antiphons are biblical names for Jesus Christ and used by western Christian churches during the last seven days of Advent especially in conjunction with the Magnificat (Mary's song) during the evening prayer services. 
  • December 17: O Sapientia (O Wisdom)
  • December 18: O Adonai (O Lord)
  • December 19: O Radix Jesse (O Root of Jesse)
  • December 20: O Clavis David (O Key of David)
  • December 21: O Oriens (O Dayspring)
  • December 22: O Rex Gentium (O King of the nations)
  • December 23: O Emmanuel (O With Us is God)

If you think these phrases sound familiar, they are the Latin basis for "O Come, O Come, Emmanuel"

Take the Commercialism Out of Christmas. The influence that money and gift-buying have gained over Christmas has led one advocacy group to sarcastically dub the holiday “Consumas.” It’s a parallel holiday, complete with its own traditions. This essay from the Catholic publication Franciscan Spirit explores the phenomenon. Great reading!
