For

God 

alone 

my 

soul in 

silence 

waits, 

truly 

my hope 

is in him.

For one 

day in 

your 

courts 

is better 

than a thousand 

in my 
own room

O Antiphon for Dec 22

                 


     O King of the nations 

            and their Desire,   

                 you are the cornerstone 

    that makes us    

both one:

      Come 
               and save
the creatures 

whom you  
               fashioned from clay.

Midday

May 
your 
Son, 
at his 
coming, 
find 
in us a 
mansion 
prepared  for himself.
