Another break from Letters to Benedict to post some O antiphons.
Traditional O Antiphons begin on 17th December but you can easily start a bit earlier by making up your own. Here’s a few to give you some ideas, based on my recent observations.
O heater of chestnuts
Thank you Jesus, that you feed us.
O sitter in doorways
Disturb us, homeless Jesus.
O sun dancer
From the margins of the cosmos, come and dance with us Jesus.
O morning blackbird
Come to your broken world, Jesus.
I’ve also written some short prayers to accompany the traditional Os. Here they are.
O Wisdom (17th December)
Lend me your wisdom, Jesus
O majesties (18th December)
I look to you for inspiration, majestic one.
O root of Jesse (19th December)
May I be rooted in Jesus
O key of David (20th December)
May I be open to Jesus
O rising sun (21st December)
Welcome, risen One
O ruler of nations (22nd December)
Welcome, kindom builder
O Emmanuel (23rd December)
Enrol us in your company, Always-with-us.
