Happy (church) New Year! Welcome to Advent and the O Advent Project. I always look forward to the beginning of Advent because it promises a fresh start as we begin our preparations for the coming of Christmas.
This Advent, I will be writing a series of reflections based on the ancient O Antiphons. The O Antiphons are very old, as old as the 6th century AD, and were usually sung in the last week before Christmas during Evensong. Together, they explore the various Old Testament images which are understood as anticipating the coming of Christ. I'll be posting reflections every three or four days. Each reflection will have the O Antiphon, a short reflection and suggestion for practical action.
I hope this series will help you reflect on your life and your faith in this joyous (if busy) season. Have a blessed Advent.
