Pray the “O Antiphons” with us on Social Media!
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.
Join us in praying the “O Antiphons” beginning Monday, December 17 on social media! We’ll post each day’s prayer in our Stories on Facebook and Instagram.
