Today at Vespers, the O antiphons begin. This signals the sunset of Advent and the final cries of creation for the arrival of her Maker.
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….
|We the Church militant, after the sadness of the past days, a sadness that needs no reference; we cry out for Wisdom to come and govern creation with care.
