First O Antiphon of Advent 2013! Antiphon on the Magnificat for Dec 17, the night of the fun moon

                                                 O Antiphon for today 

O Wisdom, 
you came 
forth 
from the 
mouth 
of the 
Most High, 
and reach 
from one 
end of the 
earth to 
the other,
mightily and sweetly ordering all things: Come and teach us the way of prudence. 

Today the Roman Catholic calendar commemorates Lazarus, who Jesus raised from the dead

                           Matthew 24:37.42

as 
the 
days 
of 
Noah 
were, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. Keep awake, therefore...
