A 15-minute guided meditation for Advent. The Antiphons are short chants which appear throughout Christian liturgy, and feature in Ambrosian chant and Gregorian chant. The O Antiphons are sung in the final seven days before Christmas. Each short verse – one per day – calls on the Lord by a specific name (O Wisdom, O […] The post Finding Your O Antiphon: An Advent Meditation appeared first on Contemplative at Home.

This Sunday we'll look at the second of the Antiphons and verse 2 of O Come O Come Emmanuel, which focuses on God's revelation to Israel and the giving of the Law.

Music in the Liturgy - Rediscovering the Antiphons

We read the tone four Antiphons, alongside Psalms 128-130 (MT 129-131), as illumined by Isaiah 42:6-7, 1 Peter 4:12-14, and St. John Cassian. Here is wise instruction on humility and God's willingness to illumine those who keep their eyes on Him.

You may have noticed that I have booklets available on how to sing the Little Office of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Sadly, I haven't polished these up for publication. They are still rather inconsistent and at times messy, but they are helpful for pointing you in the right direction. Preparing them for publishing feels like an epic quest beyond my present abilities. While this is a noble goal, maybe a similar yet smaller task might help towards the ultimate end. Maybe I can make a booklet for a smaller Little Office first!The Little Office of the Immaculate Conception shares some similarities and differences. Like the Divine Office, it is arranged by hours and employs similar versicles and collects. On the whole it has a rather different feel, being based around a hymn instead of the Psalms. If you can pick a hymn tune then the hours are pretty much ready to sing. That is, until you get to the last part.Little Office of the Blessed Virgin Mary is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.The last hour of the day is Completorium or Compline. While the large part of the hour follows the same pattern as the other hours, it ends with a new section called The Commendation or Commendatio. This consists of a hymn followed by the response, Deo gratias, then an Antiphon, Versicle and Response closing with a Collect or Prayer.The first version I recorded only had the hymn of the Commendation, so it was only recently that I began to puzzle over the Antiphon. The other parts can be sung easily with common tunes. Antiphons are little snippets each with their own melody. There are hundreds of them in the Liber Usualis and the Antiphonale Monasticum, but not this particular one.Haec est virga in qua nec nodus originalis, nec cortex actualis culpae fuit.This is the rod wherein was neither the knot of original sin, nor the bark of actual sin.Some research revealed that this particular antiphon can be found in Vespers for the medieval Franciscan feast of the Immaculate Conception, long before the universal feast was established after Our Lady gave her title to St Bernadette at Lourdes. The two manuscripts containing the antiphon date from the 17th and 18th centuries.A beautifully photographed manuscript clearly gave all the antiphons for this feast. The neumes are intelligible even after hundreds of years. I transcribed this piece into “modern” square notes and added it to Gregobase.And here is how it sounds:Little Office of the Blessed Virgin Mary is a reader-supported publication.

WOW Jesus Antiphons In some parts of the church they use as part of their worship, these seven O Antiphons. Each one, addresses Jesus Christ using a Messianic title drawn from prophecy in the Old Testament, looking back to the birth of the Saviour-Messiah. If you read the acrostic backwards, the initials of each title in Latin form the words “Ero Cras” or "Tomorrow I shall be (with you)", looking forward to when Jesus comes back again. Let us look together at these seven Old Testament titles of Jesus. Sapientia Wisdom, you came forth from the mouth of the Most High God. You fill the universe and hold all things together in a strong yet gentle manner: you came to teach us the way of truth. Isaiah 28:29 This also comes forth from the Lord Almighty, Who is wonderful in plan, and excellent in wisdom! ~ Adonai Ruler of the house of Israel, who appeared to Moses in the burning bush, and gave him the Law on Sinai, you came to redeem us with outstretched arms! Isaiah 11:4-5 He will give justice to the poor and make fair decisions for the exploited. The earth will shake at the force of his word, and one breath from his mouth will destroy the wicked. He will wear righteousness like a belt and truth like an undergarment. ~ Radix Jesse Root of Jesse, who stands as an ensign to the peoples, at whom kings stand silent and whom the gentiles seek: you came to free us! Malachi 5:1-5 - You, Bethlehem Ephrathah, are too small to be included among Judah's cities. Yet, from you Israel's future ruler will come for me. His origins go back to the distant past, to days long ago. That is why the Lord will abandon Israel until the time a mother has a child. Then the rest of the Lord's people will return to the people of Israel. The child will become the shepherd of his flock. He will lead them with the strength of the Lord, with the majestic name of the Lord his God. They will live in safety because his greatness will reach the ends of the earth. This man will be their peace. Jeremiah 23:5-6 - "For the time is coming," says the Lord, "when I will raise up a righteous branch from King David's line, a root of Jesse. He will be a King who rules with wisdom. He will do what is just and right throughout the land. And this will be his name: 'The Lord Is Our Righteousness.' In that day Judah will be saved, and Israel will live in safety. ~ Clavis David Key of David, and Sceptre of the house of Israel, who opens and no one shuts, who shuts, and no one opens, you came to free from prison, those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death. Isaiah 9:6 For a child is born to us, a son is given to us. The government will rest on his shoulders. And he will be called: Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Isaiah 22:21-22 21 I will dress him in your royal robes and will give him your title and your authority. And he will be a father to the people of Jerusalem and Judah. I will give him the key to the house of David-the highest position in the royal court. When he opens doors, no one will be able to close them; when he closes doors, no one will be able to open them. ~ Oriens Morning Star, splendour of eternal light and sun of justice, you came and illumined those seated in darkness and the shadow of death. Malachi 4:2 - "But for you who fear my name, the Sun of Righteousness will rise with healing in his wings. And you will go free, leaping with joy like calves let out to pasture. Zechariah 6:12-13 Then say to him, 'This is what the Lord of Armies says: Here is the man whose name is Branch. He will branch out from where he is, and he will rebuild the Lord's temple. He will rebuild the Lord's temple and receive royal honor. He will sit and rule from his throne. He will be a priest on his throne. There will be a peaceful understanding between them. ~ Rex Gentium King of the Nations for whom they long, the corner-stone who makes of both one, you came and delivered humanity whom you made from clay. Genesis 2:7 Then the Lord God formed the man from the dust of the earth and blew the breath of life into his nostrils. The man became a living being. Isaiah 28:16 Therefore, this is what the Sovereign Lord says: "Look! I am placing a foundation stone in Jerusalem, a firm and tested stone. It is a precious cornerstone that is safe to build on. Whoever believes need never be shaken. ~ Emmanuel God with us, our King and Law-giver, desired of the nations and their salvation, you came to save us, Lord our God. Isaiah 7:13-14 - Isaiah said, "Listen well, you royal family of David! Isn't it enough to exhaust human patience? Must you exhaust the patience of my God as well? All right then, the Lord himself will give you the sign. Look! The virgin will conceive a child! She will give birth to a son and will call him Immanuel (which means 'God is with us').

Our final Advent antiphon and our last podcast for the year. O come, O come, Emmanuel — “God with us” is the title and name.

December 23O Emmanuel, our King and Giver of Law:come to save us, Lord our God!The Roman Church has been singing the "O" Antiphons since at least the eighth century. They are the antiphons that accompany the Magnificat canticle of Evening Prayer from December 17-23. They are a magnificent theology that uses ancient biblical imagery drawn from the messianic hopes of the Old Testament to proclaim the coming Christ as the fulfillment not only of Old Testament hopes, but present ones as well. Their repeated use of the imperative "Come!" embodies the longing of all for the Divine Messiah.-----------------------------------To learn about the ministries and office of the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston, visit us online at archgh.org.FacebookInstagramYouTube

Fr. Wade gives us a teaching on the 'O Antiphons': Their History and Meaning, faith, family, fellowship, and more on today's Open Line Tuesday.

From the Antiphons of the early middle ages in the church we consider the fifth Antiphon. O Dayspring. Each short hymn puts forward a name for the Messiah; an expression of His power; and an aligning request from His people. In the advent season we remember that Christ's first coming was to prepare a people for His second coming. And we look with longing for that day.

The tradition of the 'O' Antiphons is rich in Catholic prayer.  The 'O' Antiphons, a series of references to titles of Jesus, gives us a glimpse of how Jesus fulfills the prophecies of Isaiah.  Tune in this week to hear more!

The ancient way of understanding creation included a harmonious relationship between man and the cosmos we inhabit. This included the wonderful notion of creation being able to “sing” and declare the glory and radiant praise of the One who created everything, the Lord Jesus Christ. Music and song are as much an integral part of creation as are the air we breathe and the food we eat.  But this enchanted and sacred way of understanding the cosmos is largely lost to our culture today. How might we recapture it? On this special Christmas edition of Good Heavens! we talk with musicologist Christina George about music, song, creation and how they all point us to Christ Jesus our Lord. Dr. Christie George is a pianist and musicologist from the Pacific Northwest. Her research centers around music's place within the academy and changing conceptions of good taste insofar as taste relates to the nature of the self and one's apprehension and perception of beauty. She has written and presented on topics including taste and the philosophy of art, German Idealism, the role of the self in contemporary worship music, and the phenomenology of Jean-Luc Marion at conferences in the U.S. and Europe. She currently serves as Assistant Professor of Music at Sterling College where she teaches courses in Applied Piano, Aural Skills, Music History, and Music Theory. https://cjgeorge.com/ Antiphons mentioned in this broadcast.  Ad Missam in Vigilia, Gradual: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3l68I7zAuhU J.A.C.

As the start of Advent approaches, this week's podcast returns to Malcolm Guite's journey through “The Great O Antiphons”: seven prayers which the Church prayed during the first centuries, which called afresh for Christ to come. Malcolm reads each of the seven prayers and reflects on them, and offers his own poetic response to each one, taken from his collection Sounding the Seasons: Seventy Sonnets for the Christian year (Canterbury Press). This talk was first broadcast last November during an online Advent retreat, hosted by the Church Times and Canterbury Press. The Revd Dr Malcolm Guite is a Life Fellow of Girton College, Cambridge, and writes the weekly Poet's Corner column for the Church Times. His books include Mariner: A voyage with Samuel Taylor Coleridge (Hodder), Love Remember: 40 poems of loss, lament and hope (Canterbury Press), and David's Crown: Sounding the Psalms (Canterbury Press).

The creation and re-creation of all things by God makes manifest to us Who God is and all that He has done. In the beginning all of creation was permeated and filled with the Divine life of God. God created the material and the immaterial in His marvelous act of creation. This same God is the God Who reveals Himself to all and through all. This revelation of God is the starting point to our experience of true reality; and reality is greater than just the material. Our Christian life is a life of re-creation. Our journey is to see and experience all things as they truly exist. This comes only by the experience of God in our lives, for Paradise is not a place created in the Middle East. Paradise is God and the experience of Him which is now available to all who dwell in Him.

What is the overarching plot of the bible? Who are the key players? And what are their roles? When we have a firm grasp on *salvation history,* these questions are easily answered. This is the first episode in a series on just that—salvation history. Every week, Richaél Lucero will examine one of the six key figures, the covenant they made with God and its meaning. This week, get the rundown on the plot, the main players, and catch up with Richaél about how God convicted her over Christmas/New Year's break. SHOW NOTES: —DONATE!

Fr. Frank Pavone, National Director, Priests for Life begins reflections on the "O" Antiphons of Advent.

The third week of Advent has begun, but aside from lighting the rose candle on our Advent wreath, what else is different about this week? I'll do my best to explain. Peace and Merry Christmas. 

The Three ComingsAdvent is an overflowing treasure of beauty: all the ancient prophecies, with their ever-new relevance; all the subtle harmony of the Old and the New Testaments; all the lasting appeal of the Antiphons, of the Hymns, and of the Carols.  This is a season of Hope and of Wonder. It is so full, so filled, so flowing over that it seems too much for sober adults, even a ‘confusion,’ perhaps.  During Advent, it is by tradition that we speak of the three comings. What does the Three Comings of Jesus at Advent mean ? One of our penitential rites sets before us the “Three Comings.”  He “did come,” it says. He “does come,” it says. He “will come,” it says.  This is the time to warm to that sacred pattern, to allow it to shape your pre-Christmas days. Somehow, they all run together, these comings, they are all connected.  Each is a preparation for the other in our human time. Each builds on the other in our human time.  We can never have one of these without the other, because God’s own time has slipped into our human time.  Advent is the time to accustom yourselves to remembering His Incarnation, for He did break into our world; to looking for His sacramental and his providential comings, for He does break into our world each day; and to longing for His final coming at the end of days, for He will break into our world bringing it to conclusion.   

Father Lawrence Frizzell offers his reflections on the "O" Antiphons in the Roman rite Advent liturgy, which the Church has been singing in the liturgical celebrations since the eighth century.

Day 1. The O Antiphons In some parts of the church they use as part of their Christmas worship, these seven O antiphons in use. Each of them addresses Jesus Christ using a Messianic title drawn from Old Testament prophecy. Read backwards, the initials of each title in Latin form the words “Ero Cras” or "Tomorrow I shall be (with you)" – looking forward to the return of Jesus Christ. The seven antiphons are: Sapientia - Wisdom Adonai - Holy Lord Radix Jesse - Root of Jesse Clavis David - Key of David Oriens - Morning Star Rex Gentium - King of the Nations Emmanuel - God-with-us Download or listen to the mp3 using the links available to find out more about these ancient words of the Church regarding Jesus Christ, the promised one of God.

In the first hour, host Fr. Jason Lefor visited with the Diocese of Rapid City's Fr. Michel Mulloy about why there is a renewed effort to pray the St. Michael the Archangel prayer after Mass. It was then time for our "Straight Talk" call-in segment. Today, listeners asked Fr. Lefor questions on topics including: the difference between Mary being troubled at what the angel told her about bearing a son and Zechariah doubting the same angel when he was told his wife would give birth to a son; what we can learn about the biblical figures Ruth and Naomi; the difference between the Church's teaching on divorce and annulments; what an Ember Day is and its meaning during Advent; and a history of the "O" Antiphons.

Beginning Dec. 17 of each Advent season, and for the next seven days, a special antiphon known as an O Antiphon is read before the Magnificat during evening prayer. The O's of Advent herald the coming birth of Christ. I hope you'll enjoy listening.

In the second hour, hosts Fr. Richard Kunst and Fr. Ryan Moravitz joined the Diocese of Bismarck's Fr. Austin Vetter to talk about what goes into the spiritual formation of seminarians and the importance of that, especially in light of the current crisis. Our hosts then toured around the listening area to hear about local events in our 10-Minute Tour. Corrine Exley shared a unique way her parish in Gillette, WY is helping families in need this holiday season. Finally, Fr. Rich and Fr. Ryan visited with Patrick McGuire and Maria Lusardi about what the "O" Antiphons are, why we need to know about them, and how they help us prepare for Christmas.

Welcome to Mere Rhetoric, the podcast for beginners and insiders about the ideas, people and movements who have shaped rhetorical history. I’m Mary Hedengren and I’d like you to think a little about the types of writing you’ve done in the past, oh, let us say, year. If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably written breezy email, stern syllabi, obscure academic texts and pun-based posts on Reddit that didn’t get nearly the number of upvotes as they deserve. Now what if a random, oh, say 12% of what you wrote was preserved and no one who knew you was around to testify you wrote it all? What would people think about your writing style? About your history? Would they even know you who were you?   This is precisely the mystery behind today’s Other Eight Attic Orator, Antiphon of Rhamnus. Like many of us, Antiphon may have written a variety of texts. He was a logographer, one of those professional legal speechwriters, so he probably wrote dozens of defenses for the rich and powerful in his social circle. He also attracted followers and students, so he wrote examples for them, imaginary legal cases with evenly balanced sides and arguments in weighted antithesis. He may have even written a treatise On Rhetoric, but we don’t have it, because, remember? Most of your writings--gone. We only have rumor of Antiphon’s rhetoric text. He also maybe wrote some abstract sophistic texts, On Truth and On Concord, which sure don’t sound like the pragmatic legal texts we know were his. Antiphon also lived in the real world, which, during this stormy period of Athenian politics, included a lot a hairy situations where Antiphon would have to rhetoric for his life.   All of this makes it hard to sort out what Antiphon really wrote and what, if any, style you would attribute to him--is he a cut-and-dry type-A arranger like his sample cases sound or did he play fast and loose with the traditional four parts of a speech like his court cases? He looks like both. Take those traditional four parts of a speech--prologue, narrative, proof or argument and epilogue, or in other words, set the stage, tell the story, supply the evidence, and sum it all up.   In one speech Antiphon goes on and on in the narrative. Why? Because he’s writing a speech for the prosecution and so it’s his job to plaint what happened. In this case, it’s about a step-mother poisoning a father, so it’s a very lurid narrative, too. The step-mother tricks a family’s friend’s mistress into thinking a poison was a love potion. “When they had finished dinner, ...they naturally began pouring libations...But while Philoneus’ mistress was pouring the libations...she was pouring in the drug. And she thought she would be clever and put more into  Philoneus’ cup, on the theory that if she gave him more, he would love her more. She didn’t realize she had been deceived by my stepmother until the evil was already done.... When the men had poured out the libations, each took hold of his own murderer and drank it down--his last drink” (19-21). I mean--wow! That is shocking stuff. Of course the jury wants to hear more of it. The defense’s excuses of why she did it is almost irrelevant when there’s such a vivid narration. Even though Antiphon says he will “try to relate the rest of the story about giving the drug as briefly as possible,” (13) he knows that the story is the most convincing part and aside from this allegation...there’s not really a lot of evidence. In fact, not only is the evidence sparse, but the narrative is almost entirely fabricated. How could the plaintiff or Antiphon know what the cloistered women said to each other behind closed doors? How could he know what they were thinking when they poured the drinks? But with such a robust narration section, the argument looks compelling. This kind of playing with the order is seen in extreme cases where he even blends togethers evidence and narration.   But this is far from the case of his orderly Tetralogies. These school texts are so orderly that you might even call them...textbook cases. See what I did there? The 1st Tetralogy considers a man and his servent killed in the middle of the night in the street. Were they killed by a common criminal seeking valuable cloaks or by some violent drunk...or was it personal this time? The argument here iis very argumenty, and quite different from “Against the Step-mother”: “We know the whole city is polluted by the killer until he is prosecuted and that if we prosecute the wrong man, we will be guilty of impiety, and punishment for any mistake [the jury] makes will fall on us… no one who went so far as to risk his life would abandon the gain he had securely in hand”, and yet the victims were still in possession of their property when they were found (4)...and the whole thing goes on like that. Counter supposition and response. It’s chock full of evidence and the narration takes back seat, as is more typical.   These cases sound very different, even though the cases all involve murder--Antiphon in both the cases he took and the cases his taught seemed drawn to the bloody side of Athenian life. The extant works of Antiphon are littered with the corpses of poisoned, drowned and javelined Athenians. But just as each legal case is different, the arguments needed to defend or prosecute are also different.   So what do we make of On Truth and On Concord and, for cryin’ out loud, the Interpretation of Dreams? The lawyer-y logographer Antiphon was writing about summary arrest and probablitities, but what about the fragments of the so-called sophistic works? Were these written by “our” Antiphon or some other Antiphon, sometimes named Antiphon the Sophist? What about the Antiphon who squared the circle? It’s difficult to say who is who.   Because there were only like, a dozen names in the ancient Greek cities, there were other Antiphons about. It could be that these little fragments are Antiphon’s weekend work, when he wasn’t wading through gutters of blood. But, as Michael Gagarin points out, you write different ways in different circumstances for different audiences (“Introduction” 6). A real court case isn’t the same as a textbook example for students is not the same as a purely theoretical exploration. Yet with so much missing, it’s hard to say we know Antiphon’s full contributions.   The sad irony is that this great forensic logographer who has been enshrined as one of the Great Attic Orators wasn’t able to win the most important court case of his life--the course case for his life. Although he gave what was later called “the greatest [speech] ever made by a man on trial for his life” he was prosecuted for his role in the coup of the council of 400. Like with much of Antiphon’s work, we hear more about his trial’s speech than we are actually able to read. Aristotle’s Eudemanian Ethics includes expert praise for it as well as the allusion that many others commonly appreciated it. It didn’t seem to stem the rage of the Council, though. He was prnounced guilty and not only was treason a capital offense, but his descendants would even be stripped of their inheritance and their citizenship. Most people thus charged slipped out the back way or threw others under the bus, or did both--see our episdoe on Andocides. But instead of fleeing into exile, Antiphon stayed in Athens and was executed. It’s likely that after his execution his works weren’t exactly broadly disseminated. It wasn’t until 1907 that the fragments of Antiphon’s defense on the revolution were discovered...badly mutilated papyrus from the 2nd century AD.   Kind of a downer ending, so I’m going to end with a quote from someone who knew him, Thucydides , who was Antiphon’s student.   “Antiphon, one of the best men of his day in Athens; who, with a head to contrive measures and a tongue to recommend them, did not willingly come forward in the assembly or upon any public scene, being ill-looked upon by the multitude owing to his reputation for cleverness; and who yet was the one man best able to aid in the courts, or before the assembly, the suitors who required his opinion.”

Antiphons by Metropolis of Detroit

As we continue our advent journey anticipating the birth of Jesus focusing on different characters of the Jesse Tree, today being Nehemiah (read Nehemiah 8-9: http://usccb.org/bible/nehemiah/8), we we are shifting that focus a bit as we begin a special period in our Advent preparation known as the Octave before Christmas. During this time we recite or chant the O Antiphons following the "Magnificat" during Vespers from December 17 through December 23. They are called the O Antiphons because each begins with the interjection, “O,” followed by a title for the Messiah given in the prophecies of Isaiah. You may be more familiar with the metrical paraphrase version of the O antiphons that make up the very familiar Advent hymn “O Come, O Come Emmanuel,” but if we are not familiar with the actual texts of the antiphons we are missing a great deal of their meaning. While we do not have time in this brief reflection to read the Antiphons in their entirety, I encourage you to do so in your personal prayer time. The exact origins of the O antiphons are unknown but there is reference to their use by Roman Senator and Philosopher Boethius around 500 AD. The O Antiphons were especially revered by the monks at the Benedictine Abbey of Fleury which was founded in 640. They were used in liturgical celebrations in Rome by the eighth century. The seven titles for the Messiah given in the antiphons are: O Sapientia or O Wisdom O Adonai or O sacred Lord O Radix Jesse, O Flower of Jesse’s Stem O Clavis David, O Key of David O Oriens, O Radiant Dawn O Rex Gentium, O King of the Gentiles And O Emmanuel or O God with us Professor Robert Greenberg of the San Francisco Music Conservatory noted that the Benedictine monks arranged the antiphons in a particular order. If one starts with the last title and takes the first letter of each one - Emmanuel, Rex, Oriens, Clavis, Radix, Adonai, Sapientia - the Latin words ero cras are formed, which means, Tomorrow, I will come. Therefore, the Messiah, whose coming we have been anticipating during this Advent season and whom we have named in these seven Messianic titles, speaks to us, Tomorrow, I will come. So the O Antiphons bring intensity to our Advent preparation and bring it to a joyful conclusion with the birth of the Jesus.

12/3/14 - Message by Rev. Neal Groeling

After the hymn, "O Son of God," the next antiphons are sung in the Divine Liturgy. O Lord, save Thy people and bless Thine inheritance.

Moving on from the Great Litany, Fr. Tom talks about the antiphonal verses and how they are treated in the Divine Liturgy by the various jurisdictions. He also talks about the Psalms and how the Church reads them.

SHOW NOTES: Host Bridgette Mongeon talks with poet, priest and songwriter Malcom Guite about the origination and use of the "Great O" Antiphons within the church. He is writing sonnets to each of the Antiphons used the 7 days before Christmas and inlcuding them with both the Latin song and the English translation on his blog. These Antiphons can deepen the meaning and experience of Advent. The 'O' in the Antiphon is a cry and the 7 used are the names of Christ. O Sapientia (O Wisdom) O Adonai (O Lord) O Radix Jesse (O Root of Jesse) O Clavis David (O Key of David) O Oriens (O Dayspring) O Rex Gentium (O King of the nations) O Emmanuel (O God is with Us) You can visit Malcom's blog by following the links above for each blog post. He is posting them every few days as a celebration of Advent. Each post includes an audio recording of the chant both in Latin and in English as well as an audio of Malcom reciting his Sonnets.
