18 December – O Adonai

Today we pray the second O Antiphon, O Adonai, addressing Christ as Lord and Ruler. Just as Moses approached the burning bush on holy ground, we too draw near to the mystery of God made present in the humility of the manger and in the sacrament of the Eucharist. The God who revealed Himself as “I Am” comes close to us.

With the Church, we cry out for His saving power, asking Him to stretch out His mighty arm and redeem His people, both now and at the fulfilment of time.
