O Radix Jesse | Advent Retreat (19.12.20)
Sung Compline (Night Prayer) from Blackfriars, Oxford, with reflections on the O Antiphons.
Today, Br John Church preaches on 'O Radix Jesse'.
O Radix Jesse, qui stas in signum populorum,
super quem continebunt reges os suum,
quem Gentes deprecabuntur:
veni ad liberandum nos, jam noli tardare.
O Root of Jesse, standing as a sign among the peoples;
before you kings will shut their mouths,
to you the nations will make their prayer:
Come and deliver us, and delay no longer.
Thank you! 14 people prayed
