In various Christian traditions, the O Antiphons are used at daily evening prayer services in the last days of the season of Advent. Each antiphon is a name of Christ and reflects one of his characteristics as mentioned in Scripture. Take some time this day to mediate on the names of Jesus and allow his light to expand your heart.
O Sapientia:
“O Wisdom, O holy Word of God,
you govern all creation with your strong yet tender care.
Come and show your people the way to salvation.”
O Adonai:
“O sacred Lord of ancient Israel,
who showed yourself to Moses in the burning bush,
who gave him the holy law on Sinai Mountain:
Come, stretch out your mighty hand to set us free.”
O Radix Jesse:
“O Flower of Jesse’s stem,
you have been raised up as a sign for all peoples;
kings stand silent in your presence;
the nations bow down in worship before you.
Come, let nothing keep you from coming to our aid.”
O Clavis David:
“O Key of David, O royal Power of Israel
controlling at your will the gate of Heaven:
Come, break down the prison walls of death
for those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death;
and lead your captive people into freedom.”
O Oriens:
“O Radiant Dawn, splendor of eternal light, sun of justice:
come, shine on those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death.”
O Rex Gentium:
“O King of all the nations, the only joy of every human heart;
O Keystone of the mighty arch of man,
come and save the creature you fashioned from the dust.”
O Emmanuel:
“O Emmanuel, king and lawgiver, desire of the nations,
Savior of all people, come and set us free, Lord our God.”
Like this a lot. Linked to it on my blog as way of thinking about the importance of the meaning of names in the Bible (their revelatory character)–looking towards the Feast of the Holy Name of Jesus.
