"Finally, I suspect that it is by entering that deep place inside us where our secrets are kept that we come perhaps closer than we do anywhere else to the One who, whether we realize it or not, is of all our secrets the most telling and the most precious we have to tell." Frederick Buechner

The 'O Antiphons', Day #2: O Adonai
Today is the second day and my second invitation to you to pray the O Antiphons with the Benedictine Sisters of Erie.
Today we pray, "O Adonai".
Here is a meditation by Sr. Joan Chittister, OSB
December 18
When we build a vision of life it is
necessary to realize that Jesus
must be the center of it—not our
institutions, good as they may be;
not our plans or personal talents,
necessary as they are.
— Joan D. Chittister, OSB
Prayer
O Adonai, leader of the ancient
Israel, giving Moses, while in the
burning bush, the law on Sinai.
Come with outstretched arms and
teach us.
You may wish to chant the prayer with the sisters here.
