And so the countdown for Christmas really begins.....

                            First of the O Antiphons 

                              at Evening Prayer, Dec 17   

   O Wisdom, 

    you come forth  from the mouth  of the Most High, and reach from one end 

of the earth to the other, mightily 

& sweetly ordering all things:         

                          Come & teach us 

                                  the way of prudence.
