    Today in her prayers, the Church typically begins to pray the haunting and lovely verses from the hymn people are so familiar with, Oh Come, Oh Come, Emmanuel. Each prayer features the seven titles of the Messiah from Isaiah.

    If you travel through the Old Testament, time and again you see the Israelites (us) stumble, fall, and cry out for God and his mercy. Through centuries and trials, battles, subjugation, enslavement and triumphs, this hymn and these prayers utterly capture our soul’s cry.

    The titles of the seven O Antiphons, used in Advent, are O Wisdom, O Lord (Adonai), O Root of Jesse, O Key of David, O Radiant Dawn (Oriens), O King of the Nations, and O Emmanuel, each invoking Christ with a different Messianic title from Isaiah, building anticipation for his arrival.

    Here are the titles in order, with their Latin names and meanings:

    • O Sapientia (O Wisdom)
    • O Adonai (O Lord, Master, Lord of Hosts)
    • O Radix Jesse (O Root of Jesse)
    • O Clavis David (O Key of David)
    • O Oriens (O Radiant Dawn, Dayspring)
    • O Rex Gentium (O King of the Nations)
    • O Emmanuel (O God with Us) 

    Today we pray,

    O come, Thou Wisdom, from on high,
    and order all things far and nigh;
    to us the path of knowledge show,
    and teach us in her ways to go.
