Friday 17 December 2010

The 17th of December, and the beginning of the great O Antiphons... The Church's liturgy heightens in energy, if I may so express it, in anticipation of our Lord's coming at Bethlehem.

O SAPIENTIA, QUAE EX ORE ALTISSIMI PRODIISTI,
ATTINGENS A FINE USQUE AD FINEM,
FORTITER SUAVITERQUE DISPONENS OMNIA:
VENI AD DOCENDUM NOS VIAM PRUDENTIAE.

I shall not translate that for you; you can look up a translation yourself, or, better, translate it yourself. Or you may not need to translate it; you may be able to read Latin without carrying the words across (trans-lating) into another language.

Once again I urge my Reader to say the Rosary every day, at least 5 decades. It is well to conclude it with the Litany of the Blessed Virgin.
