December 21 Day Five- “O Radiant Dawn”
On this fifth day of the “O Antiphons” we pray “O Radiant Dawn.” This verse gives us a true understanding of the Christian disposition. Christians are by their baptism, “morning people.” We know that with the rise of the sun, there is a new day of hope. We have passed through the darkness of sin, death, confusion and division and this is becuase “the dawn from on high shall break upon us.” The dawning of a new day shows us that God is always with us and that every day he gives us a new opportunity to serve him and one another. May the Lord especially radiate the warmth of his love and the brightness of his glory on those who are still in darkness through loneliness, loss, isolation and feeling unloved.
O Radiant Dawn, splendor of eternal light, sun of justice: come, shine on those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death.
Plase pray for the safety of all the seminarians who have gone home for Christmas break, as well as all priests who have a lot of work ahead of them for the next four days, and support Sacred Heart Radio.
