Wednesday, December 24
2 Sm 7:1-5, 8b-12, 14a, 16/Lk 1:67-79
Antiphon for December 24: O come, O come Emmanuel, come our King and our law-giver, Longing of the Gentiles, yea, and salvation thereof, come to save us, O Lord our God.
Come, O come Emmanuel,
come Longing of the Gentiles.
Come, O come Emmanuel.
Come, Longing of the Gentiles,
shadow-deep longing, for what,
I cannot name.
Come, O come Emmanuel.
Come, Longing of the Gentiles, shadow-deep.
For what I cannot name, come
and fill this ache, this emptiness.
Come, O come Emmanuel.
Come, Longing of the Gentiles, shadow-deep.
For what I cannot name, come and fill this ache.
My emptiness waits, our world is cold and hungry.
Come, O come Emmanuel.
Mantra: Come, O come Emmanuel!
