Today's antiphon: "O Emmanuel, our King and Giver of Law: come to save us, Lord our God!" (Isaiah 7:14) A reading from the holy Gospel according to Luke (Lk 1:57-66) But they answered her, "There is no one among your relatives who has this name." So they made signs, asking his father what he wished him to be called. He asked for a tablet and wrote, "John is his name," and all were amazed. Immediately his mouth was opened, his tongue freed, and he spoke blessing God. Neighbors and relatives who are close to Elizabeth and Zechariah witness the blessings and mercy of the Lord at the birth of John. Luke tells us that they rejoiced with Elizabeth. Yet, as close as they are, they remain outside looking in as God's plan unfolds before them. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/lectio-divina-daily/support

Friends of the Rosary, The month of December is dedicated to the Immaculate Conception. During the season of Advent, the first 24 days of December, we put on the ‘armor of light,' seeking a Christian lifestyle that requires being vigilant, as we don't know the hour in which He will arrive. Advent's liturgical color, purple, symbolizes penance, mortification, and the sorrow of a contrite heart. The remaining days of December mark the beginning of Christmas, when the liturgical color changes to white or gold, symbolizing joy, purity, and innocence. The principal feasts of Advent are: St. Francis Xavier (December 3),St. Nicholas (December 6),Immaculate Conception (moved to December 9),Our Lady of Loreto (December 10),Our Lady of Guadalupe (December 12),St. Lucy (December 13),St. John of the Cross (December 14), The Sunday liturgy supersedes the optional memorial of St. Juan Diego (December 9). Because of the Sunday liturgy, the feast of the Immaculate Conception (December 8) has been transferred to December 9. The feasts for December 2024 are:1. FIRST SUNDAY OF ADVENT3. Francis Xavier, Memorial6. Nicholas, Opt. Mem.7. Ambrose, Memorial8. SECOND SUNDAY OF ADVENT9. IMMACULATE CONCEPTION OF MARY, Solemnity11. Damasus I, Opt.

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

Listen in as Susan and Alex discuss the paradoxical nature of Advent and how letting go of expectations can help us fully embrace this season of the Christian year. Listen to the O Antiphons at this link.The O Antiphons:"O Wisdom!" "O Adonai!" "O Root!" "O Key!" "O Light!" "O King of the Nations!" "O Emmanuel!""These poetic prayers reverberate with longing and hope. They tell us we need a rescuer and a ransom. They remind us that, even if we had never heard the name of Jesus, we would still need all he came to give." ~Tish Harrison Warren, AdventThanks for listening to the Embodied Holiness Podcast.

Invité du « Buzz TV », l'auteur et chroniqueur Fabien Lecoeuvre s'apprête à animer « Vos prénoms en chanson », cet été sur CNews. Il évoque la fête de la musique, les artistes actuels et revient sur sa polémique avec la chanteuse Hoshi.

By the eighth century the church had compiled seven short hymns or chants sung during the advent season. Each hymn, sung in Latin, referenced a name of the Messiah, a deed of the Messiah and a call to the Messiah to return and deliver his people. So as the church remembered the 1st coming they anticipated the 2nd coming of the Lord. The last chant was a cry to Emmanuel. The first letter of each chant formed an acrostic which when repeated backwards gave the Lord's answer to their cries, "Tomorrow I come."

Friends of the Rosary: Almost about to enter the Christmas season, the Catholic Church celebrates today the Antiphon or chant of O Emmanuel, God Is With Us. God reveals through the human heart of Jesus that He wants to be one of us, with all our weaknesses and suffering, in every phase of our life. He wishes to dwell within us and experience how hard is to be a man. God's only-begotten Son is about to be born in time. For the salvation of men, He comes down upon the earth and is conceived by the Holy Ghost in a virgin. He wills to share our poverty and pray, and suffer with us. He even takes our place on the cross, He remains with us in Holy Communion, in our daily Mass, and in our tabernacles. At some time in the future, He will still be God with us in His beautiful heaven. All this He has done for us even though we have repeatedly turned our back on Him. Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You! + Mikel A. | RosaryNetwork.com, New York • December 23, 2021, Today's Rosary on YouTube | Daily broadcast at 7:30 pm ET

FRIDAY OF THE FOURTH WEEK OF ADVENT When they came on the eighth day to circumcise the child, they were going to call him Zechariah after his father, but his mother said in reply, “No. He will be called John.” But they answered her, “There is no one among your relatives who has this name.” So they made signs, asking his father what he wished him to be called. He asked for a tablet and wrote, “John is his name,” and all were amazed. Immediately his mouth was opened, his tongue freed, and he spoke blessing God. After the angel Gabriel visited Zechariah and told him the child's name will be John, Zechariah was speechless because, as Gabriel said, “because you did not believe my words.” In today's Gospel, Zechariah is present at John's circumcision. Elizabeth says that the child will be named John, at the moment Zechariah writes “John is his name” on a tablet, his tongue was freed and he began to speak, blessing God. All who heard these things were amazed and wondered what this might mean. They said of John, “What, then, will this child be? For surely the hand of the Lord was with him.” How do I remain open to seeing God's work in the ordinary moments of the day? God, help me understand today's Gospel reading. Was Zechariah made speechless so that he could spend more time pondering your work in his life? I want to see your work in my life but am often carried through each day with the blinders of routine tasks and various to-do lists that must be completed. Grant me the grace to believe in your words and see your hand present in every moment of the day. Lord, make clear to me today my path. Let me know that although I am separate in body from others I meet, you alone are with me at all times—interiorly and with those I meet. Free me from anything that would separate me from you. Stay with me! From the O Antiphon for today: O Emmanuel, our King and Giver of Law: come to save us, Lord our God! Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Fr Matthew completes his wonderful catecheses on the O Antiphons.

O Emmanuel, our king and our Lord, the anointed for the nations and their Savior: Come and save us, O Lord our God.

GLORIOUS MYSTERIES today.  O Emmanuel, our King and Giver of Law:  come to save us, Lord our God!

WEDNESDAY OF THE FOURTH WEEK OF ADVENT When Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the infant leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth, filled with the Holy Spirit, cried out in a loud voice and said, “Most blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb. And how does this happen to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? For at the moment the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the infant in my womb leaped for joy. Blessed are you who believed that what was spoken to you by the Lord would be fulfilled.” Today's Gospel reading from Luke describes the Visitation, Mary's journey to visit her cousin Elizabeth. Luke says that on hearing Mary's greeting, Elizabeth cried out in a loud voice and was filled with the Holy Spirit. “How does this happen to me,” she says, “that the mother of my Lord should come to me?” Elizabeth's response echoes that of the second reading: “Shout for joy, O daughter Zion! Sing joyfully, O Israel! Be glad and exult with all your heart, O daughter Jerusalem!” The joy of God's presence is palpable, as Elizabeth feels John leaping in her womb. Where is that right response in me today and as the Nativity approaches? God, bring to my soul that same Visitation that Elizabeth experienced. I know you are present, and I want to know how to disperse the shadows with your Divine light. In Song of Songs, your presence thaws the wintertime of the heart and brings warmth and ecstatic joy upon your springing steps: “For see, the winter is past, the rains are over and gone. The flowers appear on the earth, the time of pruning the vines has come, and the song of the dove is heard in our land.” Look kindly on me, Lord, and grant me the grace to receive you with joy. What is that stirring that Elizabeth felt, even as she faced the day's ordinary routines and anxieties. Teach me that love! Jesus, let me make a place for you today as Mary did, the one who first knew that Emmanuel, the Messiah, had at last come. But, Lord, because I will fall short of that, guide my actions today; show me, through Jesus Christ your Son, the way to go. From the O Antiphon for today: O Radiant Dawn, splendor of eternal light, sun of justice: come and shine on those who dwell in darkness and in the shadow of death. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

These beautiful chants date back to the 8th century, and are traditionally sung on the last 7 days leading up to Christmas, during Vespers just before the Magnificat.Latin:O Emmanuel, Rex et legifer noster,exspectatio Gentium, et Salvator earum:veni ad salvandum nos, Domine, Deus noster.English:O Emmanuel, our king and our lawgiver,the hope of the nations and their Saviour:Come and save us, O Lord our God.

At the end of Advent, Trish Irvine reflects on how God is Emmanuel "God with us" and invites us to stay in the waiting for one more day. Mentioned in this episode: Suscipe We bring together individuals who have experienced the love the Jesus Christ in their life and desire to commit their entire lives to Him to grow in their interior life through prayer, community and formation opportunities so that they can grow in the confidence that they are doing the Lord's will in their lives and living in and through His love at every moment of every day. https://with-you-always.captivate.fm/suscipe (Suscipe - Online Community and Formation for Disciples)

Join Pastor Sarah Burtt for a week of Christmas reflections focused on the O Antiphons- ancient prayers of the Church that inspired the Christmas hymn, O Come O Come, Emmanuel.

Polonii Warszawa pomógł zdobyć mistrzostwo Polski, a kadrze Jerzego Engela zakwalifikować się na mundial. Po zwolnieniu Engela w reprezentacji już nie zaistniał, a swojemu piłkarskiemu ojcowi przypomniał się w eliminacjach Ligi Mistrzów, pomagając wyeliminować prowadzoną przez niego Wisłę Kraków. Przez kłopoty z kolanami przepadł mu kontrakt w FC Porto. W Anglii wybierano go do jedenastki niewypałów transferowych. Spokój odnalazł dopiero w Chinach.

Si proclamano solo in questa settimana. Da sempre prima e dopo il “Magnificat” dei Vespri, dal Concilio anche nella Messa come versetto dell'Alleluia. Sono le sette “Antifone maggiori” o anche "Antifone O" che precedono la vigilia di Natale, ogni giorno, dal 17 al 23 dicembre, ne dischiude una propria. Il loro testo trasuda di immagini bibliche, la melodia originale risuona di canto gregoriano.

These are the golden evenings of Advent, when the nights in the northern hemisphere stretch towards their longest and the light bends and turns to lengthen our days. Our waiting peaks to a crescendo as we yearn to welcome Christmas, the Christ child: our true light from the true light. Michael Morris leads us as we dwell in a treasure of the church: the hymn O Come O Come Emmanuel and their refrain, known as the O Antiphons, the lens through which we read Mary's Magnificat. Today: O Emmanuel.

Episode Topic: Week 3: Sacred Music for Advent and Christmas: From Gregorian Chant to Jazz ImprovisationJoin Professor Mark Doerries, Director of the Notre Dame Children's Choir and Director of Graduate Studies for Sacred Music at Notre Dame, a graduate degree program that trains tomorrow's vocalists, organists, and conductors to reinvigorate music in the church, concert hall, and stage. In 2015, Doerries commissioned Grammy award-winning jazz pianist J.J. Wright '14 M.S.M., '17 D.M.A. to compose a work for Advent for children's voices, graduate vocal soloists, orchestra, and jazz trio. The resulting work, "O Emmanuel," fuses historic genres of Catholic sacred music, chant, carols, and classical music with jazz improvisation. Ten-time Grammy winner and jazz trumpeter Arturo Sandoval joined the choirs and vocalists of Sacred Music at Notre Dame in 2018 for a new album of classic Christmas carols with a jazz twist.Featured Speakers: Mark Doerries, Director of the Notre Dame Children's Choir and Director of Graduate Studies for Sacred Music, University of Notre DameJ.J.
