Updated "O's"

It is perhaps my most popular as well as best received output on the 'blog. It is a chronical of the development of what meager writing skills I have. It is also a testament to my dedication to this form of social media.

Once again this infinitesimal corner of the universe presents its annual meditations on the "O" Antiphons. This yearly tradition presents each of the seven antiphons spoken or chanted just before the Magnificat in the Liturgy of the Hours/Daily Office. They are also used as the Gospel Acclamation at daily Masses, save for the one which falls on Sunday.

As I noted last year, one of the reflections I was using no longer has a link. Along with reflections by Fr. John Zuhlsdorf, starting today I also am presenting a video series produced by the Norbertine Fathers of St. Michael's Abbey in Silverado, CA along with my very own humble musings. The first two should be of tremendous value. Your mileage will vary on my thoughts.

As these have appear throughout the years, there have been additions and revisions. This is a series where I can actually document the evolution of these posts, as I have not deleted any of the previous ones I created. Much like this 'blog and its creator, they are still works in progress.

In any event, as we come into the final days of Advent, I hope these still are edifying for those who come across them. May they be a source of inspiration to complete your preparation for Christmas.

They begin to make their appearance later today
