The Great ``O'' Antiphons\n 1 Corinthians 1:24\n 12\/17\/2026\n\n\n 24 But to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks,\n Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.\n (ESV)\n\n The Magnificat (Luke 1:46-55) is assigned as the canticle\n for the daily office service of Vespers. When it is sung it is\n preceded and followed by an antiphon, a single verse that\n connects the canticle to the holy day being observed. During the\n seven days before Christmas Eve the antiphons begin with the word\n ``O'' followed by a form of address to Christ. Each antiphon is\n a prayer to the Son of God imploring Him to come as our judge and\n redeemer on the last day.\n\n The Antiphon for December 17 is drawn from the book of\n Proverbs.\n\n O Wisdom, proceeding from the mouth of the\n Most High, pervading and permeating all\n creation, mightily ordering | all things:*\n Come and teach us the way of | prudence.\n\n\n In the book of Proverbs, wisdom is more than an attribute of\n God. It is the title used to identify the Son as distinct from\n the Father. Wisdom is identified as one who existed before the\n world was created, and the One through whom all things were\n ordered. Saint Paul alludes to this: ``But to those who are\n called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the\n wisdom of God.''[1]\n\n The Antiphon reflects the language of Proverbs, where Wisdom\n says: ``Hear instruction and be wise, and do not neglect it.''[2]\n\n May our Lord grant us the wisdom to recognize the coming of\n Christ Jesus, our Lord. Amen.\n ____________________\n\n 1. 1 Corinthians 1:24 (ESV)\n\n 2.
