The "O Antiphons" - O Wisdom


Beginning December 17, the we follow the old monastic custom of solemnly intoning the O Antiphons at Vespers.  The O Antiphons are used for the Magnificat antiphon and address Christ by the various titles given to Him in the Old Testament. 

Join us in reflecting on these, as a special way to prepare for the Feast of the Birth of Our Lord.

O Wisdom,
Who didst come from the mouth of the Most High,
reaching from end to end
and disposing all things sweetly and mightily:
come and teach us the way of prudence.
