O Antiphons, 2011

Last Updated on Monday, 26 December 2011 10:47

Each Advent beginning December 17 the church sings the O Antiphons at Vespers (Evening Prayer) and has done so for over 1200 years.  Each antiphon proclaims a title of the long desired Christ Child. It is a tradition of over 40 years in our monastery for the Abbas or someone she designates to prepare a meditation for the day's antiphon to be read at Lauds (Morning Prayer).  This year Sister Mary-Ellen is presenting the O Antiphon Meditations.  Recordings are available.

True Change

"The fate of the church and of the faith is determined in the context of the liturgy and the Eucharist. True change is only possible through the transformation of the heart."  Pope Benedict XVI
