It is the 18th day in the Month of December today, and so we shall observe another of the Greater Antiphons, with my translation:
O Adonai, et Dux domus Israel, qui Moysi in igne flammae rubi apparuisti, et ei in Sina legem dedisti: veni ad redimendum nos in brachio extento.
O Adonai, and Leader of the House of Israel, you who appeared unto Moses in the fire of the flaming bramble [that's literally what rubus is, either that or blackberry!] and gave unto him the Law in Sinai: come to redeem us with an outstretched arm.
Antiphons and collects: the genius of the Roman rite. Brevity and conciseness, yet full expressions of dogmatic truh and spiritual reality.
ReplyDeleteDear Singulare Ingenium. Many thanks for the Great O Antiphons, that you depict beautifully. This enhanced coverage of the forthcoming Feast of Christmas encourages all Christians to reach higher in their devotions and adoration.
