Loving Mother of our Redeemer Lord,
Star of the sea and portal of the skies,
Unto thy fallen people help afford―
Fallen, but striving still anew to rise.
Thou who didst once, while wondering worlds adored,
Bear thy Creator, Virgin then as now,
O by thy holy joy at Gabriel’s word,
Pity the sinners who before thee bow.

Antiphon
THE PROMISED MESSIAH IS REVEALED
BY DEGREES TO THE HUMAN RACE
All desires converge towards Him
All the Old Testament is a prolonged Advent the prayers of which are
summed up in the prayer of Isaiah :
Drop down dew, you heavens, from above,
and let the clouds rain the Just One,
let the earth be opened,
and but forth the Savior !
The idea of this future Redeemer fills all the Ancient Law ; all the symbols, all the rites and sacrifices prefigure Him : Haec omnia in figura contingebant illis ; all desires converge towards Him. The religion of Israel was
the expectation of the Messiah.
But the greatness of the mystery of the Incarnation and the majesty
of the Redeemer demanded that the revelation of Him to the human race
should only be made by degrees. Man, on the morrow of his fall, was neither
worthy of receiving nor capable of welcoming the full manifestation of the
God-Man. It was by a dispensation at once full of wisdom and mercy, that
God disclosed this ineffable mystery only little by little, by the mouth of the
prophets ; when the human race should be sufficiently prepared, the Word, so
many times announced, so often promised, would Himself appear here below
to instruct us.
Christ in His Mysteries
Blessed Abbot Columba Marmion, O.S.B.

Hail, true Body, truly born
Of the Virgin Mary mild,
Truly offered, racked and torn,
On the Cross for man defiled,
From whose love-pierced, sacred side
Flowed thy true Blood’s saving tide :
Be a foretaste sweet to me
In my death’s great agony,
O thou loving, gentle One,
Sweetest Jesus, Mary’s Son.

OU heav-ens * o- pen from a- bove, that clouds may rain

1. Do not be angry, Lord our God, no longer be mindful that we have sinned before
you. See how Sion, your city, now is left abandoned, Sion is left unguarded now, Jerusalem now is desolate : City that claimed your loving blessing and worked for your
glory, City where our Fathers sang your praises. Ant.
2. Lord, turn now to us and see your chosen people’s affliction and send down Him
who is to come, the One promised, Lamb and yet Lord of all lands, from the rock in
the desert to the mount of Sion your daughter, that he may bring pardon, freeing us
captives of our burden. Ant.
