Assembly The Great King who is to come. Officiant Dear friends in Christ, in the stillness of this cathedral church we gather to mark the beginning of Advent, a season of waiting upon the Lord: who came once in the flesh as Savior and Redeemer of the world, who comes daily in word, Sacrament, and ordinary moments of human encounter, who will come again in glorious majesty to establish God’s Kingdom of justice and peace. Let us hear from ancient prophets foretelling the first coming of Emmanuel and modern poets proclaiming “God with us.” Let us remember prophecies fulfilled in the distant past and strive to proclaim Christ’s transforming presence in our own generation. Let us also pray for a renewed vision of God’s righteousness; that our ministries with the poor and the oppressed, the sick and the suffering, prisoners and refugees, the forgotten and outcasts, may proclaim and enact the coming of God’s Kingdom. May God give us ears to hear, minds to understand, and hearts to receive the message of Christ. All Amen. 2 Please be seated. antiphon 1 setting by Peter Hallock SAPIENTIA, quæ ex ore Altissimi prodisti, attingens a fine usque ad finem, fortiterSAPIENTIA suaviter disponesque omnia: veni ad docendum nos viam prudentiæ.
