They depict seven antiphons that The Roman Church has been singing since at least the eighth century. They are the antiphons that accompany the Magnificat canticle of Evening Prayer from December 17-23 and are also used as the verses on the same days during the Mass. Their magnificent theology uses ancient biblical imagery drawn from the messianic hopes of the Old Testament to proclaim the coming Christ as the fulfillment not only of Old Testament hopes, but present ones as well. Each antiphon is a name of Christ, one of his attributes mentioned in Scripture. Their repeated use of the imperative "Come!" embodies the longing of all for the Divine Messiah. May this longing be also our longing as we go deeper and deeper into Advent. December 18 “O Adonai” December 17 “O Sapientia” O Leader of the House of O Wisdom of our God Most Israel, giver of the Law to High,guiding creation with Moses on Sinai: come to power and love: rescue us with your mighty come to teach us the path of power! knowledge!

Getting a new Smart TV for Christmas? Maybe you have a non-HD flat screen that's languishing in the basement? Corpus Christi could use them for our classrooms. We would like to have wall mounted TVs in every room. These do not have to be HD, but they do have to be flat screens. If you have one to donate, please call the office at 630-483-4673 and let us know. Thank you! Tis the Season for Giving and Sharing. We are in the midst of the Christmas rush. There is so much to do. One of the things we do is to remember family, friends and others by giving them a gift to show our love and appreciation for all that they do. We remember everyone from Grandma to the paper boy; Aunt Sally to the person who cuts our hair. Have we ever thought about a gift for our par- ish, our spiritual home? We receive so many blessings from our heavenly Father, the greatest of which is the gift of His Son, . A gift showing our gratitude for all the blessings of the past year seems very appropriate.
