Winter has officially begun and we are enjoying spectacular sunsets.
The O Antiphon at Vespers for December 22nd (see explantion of O Antiphons for December 20th entry on this page) proclaims:
“O King of all nations and keystone of the Church; come and save those whom you formed from the dust!”
The Antiphon is a fervent prayer that God stoop down to lift us up to life in the Blessed Trinity. God has done that and we recount it in a particular way at the end of the Advent season and the Christmas season that begins at the end of this week.
