Habang papalapit ang Pasko, mula December 17 hanggang December 24, may natatanging panalangin na tinatawag na “O Antiphons.” Ang antiphon o antipona ay isang maikling panalangin na ginagamit bilang tugon sa pagdarasal ng simbahan. Ang “O Antiphons” ay tinawag sa ganitong pangalan dahil nagsisimula sila sa isang madiin na “O.” Ang pinatutungkulan ng pagbati ay ang Panginoong Hesukristo na darating, at ang kasunod ng salitang “O” ay mga titulo ng Panginoon mula sa kasulatan ng Propeta ng Lumang Tipan. Dito ipinakikita na ang sinabi ng Propeta ay nagkakaroon ng katuparan sa katauhan ng Panginoong Hesukristo na siyang tunay na nagmamay-ari ng mga titulo o parangal na ito. Sa Ingles, narito ang mga O Antiphons na tinatawag, kasunod ang katumbas nito sa Tagalog.

December 17

O Wisdom of our God Most High…

O Karunungan…

 

December 18

O Lord/ Leader of the House of Israel…
O Pinuno…

 

December 19

O Root of Jesse’s stem…
O Ugat ni Jesse…

 

December 20

O Key of David,
O susi ni David

 

December 21

O Radiant Dawn…

O sinag ng bukang-liwayway…

 

December 22

O King of all…

O Hari…

 

December 23

O Emmanuel…

O Emmanuel…

 

Simple subalit may malalim na kahulugan at aral ang mga panalanging ito lalo na sa ating pagkilala sa tunay na kahulugan ng pagka-Diyos at pagka-tao ng ating Panginoong Hesukristo!

FIRST DAY: DECEMBER 16   (from the book: Where is the Child?by Fr. R. Marcos (Makati: StPauls);  pls responsibly acknowledge source when using publicly)   fr tam nguyen's photo First Reading: Isaiah 56:1-3, 6-8   Thus says the Lord: Observe what is right, do what is just, for my salvation is about to come, my justice, about to be revealed.   Hay is the one who does this, whoever holds fast to it: Keeping the sabbath without profaning it, keeping one’s hand from doing any evil. The foreigner joined to the Lord should not say, “The Lord will surely exclude me from his people”; Nor should the eunuch say, “See, I am a dry tree.” And foreigners who join themselves to the Lord, to minister to him, to love the name of the Lord, to become his servants—All who keep the sabbath without profaning it and hold fast to my covenant, them I will bring to my holy mountain and make them joyful in my house of prayer; their burnt offerings and t...
