Saturday of the Third Week of Advent 2022

~Today, we also begin the O ANTIPHONS during the LITURGY OF THE HOURS. This is a way to intensely prepare for the approaching CHRISTMAS SEASON. There will be a different "O ANTIPHON" posted each day until Christmas.

O Antiphon: O WISDOM, did'st come out of the mouth of the Most High, reaching from end to end and ordering all things mightily and sweetly: come and teach us the way to prudence.

Response: Rejoice, Rejoice, Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel.

Jesse Tree Story: MICAH

Jesse Tree Symbol: THE CITY OF BETHLEHEM

Scripture: "And you, Bethlehem Ephrata, are a little one
among the thousands of Judah. From you will go forth
he who shall be the ruler in Israel, and his landing place
has been set from the beginning, from the days of eternity."
Micah 5:2

Commentary: The prophet Micah told us where Christ would be born.  "And you Bethlehem out of you shall He come forth unto me, that is to be the ruler in Israel."
