O Come O Come Emmanuel

O EMMANUEL, God with us, our King and Lawgiver, 

the expected of the nations and their Savior: Come to save us, O Lord our God.

O Come Desired of the Nations

O KING OF THE GENTILES and their desired One, the Cornerstone that makes both one: Come, and deliver man, whom You formed out of the dust of the earth.

O Come Dawn of the East

O DAWN OF THE EAST, brightness of the light eternal, and Sun of Justice: 

Come, and enlighten them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death.

O Come Key of David

O KEY OF DAVID, and Scepter of the House of Israel, who opens and no man shuts, who shuts and no man opens: Come, and bring forth the captive from his prison, he who sits in darkness and in the shadow of death.

O Come Root of Jesse

O ROOT OF JESSE, who stands for an ensign of the people, before whom kings shall keep silence and unto whom the Gentiles shall make supplication: Come to deliver us, and tarry not.

O Come Lord of Might!

O LORD AND RULER of the House of Israel, who appeared to Moses in the flame of the burning bush and gave him the law on Sinai: Come, and redeem us with outstretched arm.

O Come Thou Wisdom

O WISDOM, who came from the mouth of the Most High, reaching from end to end and ordering all things mightily and sweetly: Come, and teach us the way of prudence.

Precious Gift

Rarely do we reflect upon what gifts our souls may possess,

Who dwells within them, or how extremely precious they are.

(St. Teresa of Avila)

Where I AM, you also may be

Do not let your hearts be troubled.

You have faith in God; have faith also in me. 

In my Father's house there are many dwelling places. 

If there were not, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? 

And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back again and take you to myself, so that where I am you also may be. 

Where (I) am going you know the way. (Jn. 14:1-4)
