Event Description

Antiphons (one for each day of novena)

Day 1: Behold the king will come, the Lord of the earth, and he will remove from us the yoke of our captivity (cf. Hab 2:3; 1 Cor 4:5). (Magnificat and closing prayer)

Day 2: O Wisdom eternal, proceeding from the mouth of the Most High, you reach from end to end and order all things mightily and sweetly; come now to direct us in the way of holy prudence (cf. Sir 24; Wis 6-9). (Magnificat and closing prayer)

Day 3: O Lord and leader of the house of Israel, who once appeared to Moses and spoke to him from a bush aflame, and on the peak of Sinai gave him the law; come now, bring us your redemption with your mighty outstretched arm (cf. Ex 3, 15, 24; Deut 5). (Magnificat and closing prayer)

Day 4: O root of Jesse, standing an ensign of the people, before whom even kings silent will remain, whom the Gentiles, too, shall beseech, come now to deliver us all; delay no longer (cf. Is 11). (Magnificat and closing prayer)

Day 5: O key of David, royal scepter of Israel, Thou who openest and no one closeth; who close and no one can open, come now, and free humanity from its bonds in prison, where it sits in darkness and the shadow of death (cf. Is 22; Rev 3:7). (Magnificat and closing prayer)

Day 6: O radiant dawn, splendor of eternal light and bright sun of justice, come now and enlighten those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death (cf. Zech 3:8; 6:12; Is 9:2; 60:1-3; Wis 7:26; Lk 1:78; Heb 1:3). (Magnificat and closing prayer)

Day 7: O king of all nations, the one for whom they have been yearning, the cornerstone who unites all of them in perfect union, come now, and rescue poor humanity, which from dust you have fashioned (cf. Jer 10:7; Hg 2:8; Is 28:16, Gen 2:7, Eph 2:14). (Magnificat and closing prayer)

Day 8: O Emmanuel, our ruler and lawgiver, the expected of the nations and the Redeemer of all, come now to deliver us, O our Lord and our master (cf. Is 7:14; Is 33:22; Gen 49:10; Zech 9:9; Jn 20:28). (Magnificat and closing prayer)

Day 9: O Emmanuel, our ruler and lawgiver, the expected of the nations and the Redeemer of all, come now to deliver us, O our Lord and our master. (Magnificat and closing prayer)

Christ goes before us. He is the Lamb without sin who will open to us the gates of heaven. He is the high priest forever according to the order of Melchisedech. He is the king of justice and His reign is eternal. Amen.-

Please remember also the Holy Souls in Purgatory during this Novena.  I think I read somewhere that many of the Holy Souls are released from Purgatory on Christmas Eve.  Thank you.

I know this is a bit early, but December starts on Saturday.  I didn't want to forget to post this in time.  My mind is like a sieve lately.  :-p
