O Antiphons are songs of praise from the old testament to tell us during advent of the coming of the Messiah.
Today we pray O root of Jesse.
"O Root of Jesse’s stem,
sign of God's love for all his people:
come to save us without delay!
I don't know about you but in my life time I have prayed for deliverance. O God come and save me. I recall the answer was "who asked you to go there in the first place?"
I am sure I am not the only one who was in a situation of asking God to get me out of a situation I created. God did come to my aid. The question was did I learn anything?
Root of Jesse's stem is a sign of God's love for all of his people.
In our final preparations for Christmas let us remember it is really all about God's love for all of us. Let us take time to share the love we have been given.
