A short clip of our community singing the O Antiphon for the 23rd of December (the Dominican version).

O Immanuel ...

The time of waiting is coming to an end. Soon the mystery of the Incarnation will be re-enacted once more in our liturgical celebrations and especially in our hearts.

For the past few weeks the cry "Maranatha - Come Lord Jesus" has been our spoken and unspoken prayer. But there is another side to this longing desire. While looking for a quotation in my bible I chanced to open Chapter 2 in the Song of Songs, where the Bridegroom speaks to his Bride: "Come my lovely one, come."
It came home to me very forcibly - not only am I pleading with Jesus to come but far more earnestly is he saying to me:

"Come then my love, my lovely one come,
Show me your face,
Let me hear your voice"

Two hearts were meeting and held momentarily in stillness.
