Week 3 - Monday
Scripture Reflection:
The "O" Antiphons:
Come, Leader of ancient Israel (O Adonai)
"Come, Leader of Ancient Israel, giver of the Law to Moses
on Sinai:
rescue us with your mighty power!"
The “O Antiphons” refer to the seven antiphons that are recited (or chanted) preceding the Magnificat during Vespers of the Liturgy of the Hours. They cover the special period of Advent preparation known as the Octave before Christmas, Dec. 17-23, with Dec. 24 being Christmas Eve and Vespers for that evening being for the Christmas Vigil. The "O" Antiphons have been called a "very unique work of art and a special ornament of the pre-Christmas liturgy."
