O Antiphon: O come, O come thou Lord and Leader of the house of Israel, Who didst appear to Moses in the flame of the burning bush, and didst give unto him the Law of Sinai: come and with an outstretched arm redeem us.
Jesse Tree Story: GIDEON
Jesse Tree Symbol: PITCHER
Scripture: "The three groups blew their horns and smashed their pitchers; with their left hands they grasped the torches, with their right hands the horns for blowing them; and they shouted, 'The sword for Yahweh and for Gideon!' And they stood still, spaced out round the camp. The whole camp was thrown into confusion and the Midianites fled, shouting.”
Judges 7:20-21
Commentary: God revealed His power to Gideon, who came from a poor family, by letting his army of 300 men defeat more than 100,000 at Midian. Gideon followed the Lord's instruction to have his men approach the town with their torches hidden under pitchers. The people of Midian were so startled when the pitchers were broken that many began fighting among themselves. Gideon became a leader and judge, helping his people obey God's true laws.
