O<\/span> Wisdom! Advent is drawing to its close, and it’s time again for our annual look at the O Antiphons<\/em>. <\/p>\n

These antiphons are part of the prayers at the liturgical hour of Vespers for the 17th through the 23rd of December – the 24th is of course the Christmas Vigil itself. They are ancient prayers, possibly dating back to the earliest days of the Christian era.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We begin these last days of Advent with a plea to Wisdom, the Holy Spirit, to teach us of Her ways, that we might be ready for the coming of Christ.<\/p>\n

R<\/span>esplendent and unfading<\/em> is Wisdom, and She is readily perceived by those who love Her, and found by those who seek Her. She hastens to make herself known to those who desire her; one who watches for Her at dawn will not be disappointed, for She will be found sitting at the gate.<\/p>\n

(Wisdom 6:12-14<\/a>).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

These videos, which I will be embedding each day until Christmas, were recorded by the Dominican student brothers at Oxford in 2006.<\/p>\n

O<\/span> Sapi\u00e9ntia,<\/em> qu\u00e6 ex ore Alt\u00edssimi prodi\u00edsti,
\natt\u00edngens a fine usque ad finem,

O<\/span>Wisdom,<\/em> coming forth from the mouth of the Most High,
\nreaching from one end to the other mightily,
\nand sweetly ordering all things:
\nCome and teach us the way of prudence.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
