O Radix Jesse


Oops – forgot to post yestersday’s Advent antiphon

O Root of Jesse, standing as a sign among the peoples;
before you kings will shut their mouths,
to you the nations will make their prayer:
Come and deliver us, and delay no lonmger.

O Sapientia


Today we use the first of the Advent Antiphons at Vespers (Evening Prayer) which herald the recitation of the Magnificat from now until 23rd December. Today is ‘O Sapientia’.

O Wisdom, coming forth from the mouth of the Most High,
reaching from one end to the other mightily,
and sweetly ordering all things:
Come and teach us the way of prudence.
