Show Notes

O Antiphons
As the days darken towards December 17th, the liturgical calendar moves into the final octave before Christmas. Beginning with the 17th of December, the liturgical tradition marks each day until Christmas Eve with an ancient and mysterious text, one of the so-called O-Antiphons. On this weeks podcast Shane and John explore these ancient prayers of longing and expectation for the coming of Jesus - both past, present and future coming of Jesus. As we head into the last 8 days before Christmas, why not make a few minutes of sacred space in your day to round out your preparations for the Holy and Festive Season of Christmas using the O Antiphons as your guide. The presents, decorations and parties are important to re-connect with family and friends, but lets not forget why we celebrate the holy-day.......
