MESSAGE FROM THE RECTOR
P art of our church’s Advent liturgy since the sixth century A.D., are verses known as the
“O antiphons”. The writer drew seven titles of
God from the Old Testament which express the
people’s yearning for the coming of the Messiah.
Most of us will recognize them as the foundation
of the popular Advent hymn “O Come, O Come
Emmanuel.
Through the liturgy, family devotions and
personal prayer, the O Antiphons can serve as a
beautiful way to prepare for the feast of
Christmas.
Here is a list of the O Antiphons;
Dec 17 O Wisdom, you proceeded from the Most High
and you arrange all that exists. (Si 24.3, and Ws 8.1)
Dec 18 O Lord and Leader of the House of Israel,
come and redeem us (Ex 3.2, Dt 5)
Dec 19 O Root of Jesse, you stand as a sign for the
peoples (Is 5.15, Hk 2.3)
Dec 20 O Key of David, come and break down the
walls of sin and death (Is 22.2, Ps 107.14)
Dec 21 O Radiant One, come and enlighten those lost
in darkness (Zec 3.8, Ws 7.26)
Dec 22 O King, the Only joy of every human heart (Jr
10.7, Gn 2.7)
Dec 23 O Emmanuel, Saviour of all people (Is 33.22,
Zec 9.9)
Note: Christmas Day this year falls on a Monday. Because
Catholics are obliged to attend Mass for Sundays and Holy
Days of Obligation, some have asked whether a Sunday
evening Mass on Christmas Eve would fulfill both the
obligation for a Sunday Mass and the obligation for a
Christmas Day Mass. The faithful should attend two
Masses to fulfill their Sunday and Christmas Mass
obligations.

[email protected] Todos los Evangelios comienzan la narracio n de la vida pu blica de Jesu s con el relato de su bautismo en el rí o Jorda n por obra de san Juan. San Lucas encuadra la entrada en escena del Bautista en un marco histo rico solemne. Tambie n mi libro Jesu s de Nazaret empieza con el bautismo de Jesu s en el Jorda n, acontecimiento que tuvo enorme resonancia en su tiempo. De Jerusale n y de todas las partes de Judea la gente acudí a para escuchar a Juan Bautista y para hacerse bautizar por e l en el rí o, confesando sus pecados (cf. Mc 1, 5). La fama del profeta que bautizaba crecio hasta el punto de que muchos se preguntaban si e l era el Mesí as. Pero e l — subraya el evangelista— lo nego decididamente: "Yo no soy el Cristo" (Jn 1, 20). En cualquier caso, es el primer "testigo" de Jesu s, habiendo recibido del cielo la indicacio n: "Aquel sobre quien veas que baja el Espí ritu y se queda sobre e l, ese es el que bautiza con Espí ritu Santo" (Jn 1, 33). Esto acontecio precisamente cuando Jesu s, despue s de recibir el bautismo, salio del agua: Juan vio bajar sobre e l al Espí ritu como una paloma. Fue entonces cuando "conocio " la plena realidad de Jesu s de Nazaret, y comenzo a "manifestarlo a Israel" (Jn 1, 31), sen ala ndolo como Hijo de Dios y redentor del hombre: "Este es el Cordero de Dios, que quita el pecado del mundo" (Jn 1, 29). Como aute ntico profeta, Juan dio testimonio de la verdad sin componendas. Denuncio las transgresiones de los mandamientos de Dios, incluso cuando los protagonistas eran los poderosos. Así , cuando acuso de adulterio a Herodes y Herodí as, pago con su vida, coronando con el martirio su servicio a Cristo, que es la verdad en persona. Invoquemos su intercesio n, junto con la de Marí a santí sima, para que tambie n en nuestros dí as la Iglesia se mantenga siempre fiel a Cristo y testimonie con valentí a su verdad y su amor a todos.
