Today is the 3rd Sunday of Advent-- Guadete Sunday. It is also, by a happy coincidence, the 17th of December, and therefore, the day on which the Catholic Church begins singing the Great O Antiphons in preparation of the coming feast. There is a beautiful Latin version here (and I highly encourage you to listen to it) but I am, posting the following video, which features it in English, and also has a short explanation of the Antiphon.
Last year, I expressed my determination to post the Antiphon for each day, and failed, of course. I am going to attempt again this year, because they are beautiful and ancient, and I love them.
