    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 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.

    National Roast Suckling Pig Day – Cubans in Miami did this on Christmas Eve

    National Twin Day

    National Re-gifting Day – a useful practice, so long as it is not a 20 year old fruitcake

    National Answer the phone like Buddy the Elf Day – seems like I missed this joke, never having seen the Elf Movie.

    Good mornin’, czarina! Mrs. T has twin sons, and I’ve seen the pig buried and cooked in a hole, so for sure those two. Grab some coffee, ma’am.

    Good morning Stella,

    Have fun decorating the tree. It’s a lot of work, but it’s so appealing when it’s done!

    Mornin’ All. It is in the mid’30’s and going to stay around there for a couple of days and snow is forecast for Saturday. All that high wind brought back some winter weather. It also knocked out our power in the whole area for most of yesterday. After that we had to get back the Internet and my phone went down for the evening. Glad we were in a slightly warm spell for a few days. I do have an emergency heater if the power goes out, but I ended up not needing it. The power was out at my son’s, but they have a fireplace that can really put out the heat, so they were ok, too.

    Well, hope you all are comfortable and warm. Enjoy the day.
