O Adonai

Today’s O antiphon, O Adonai.

image

O Adonai, et Dux domus Israel,
qui Moysi in igne flammae rubi apparuisti,
et ei in Sina legem dedisti:
veni ad redimendum nos in brachio extento.
O Adonai, and leader of the House of Israel,
who appeared to Moses in the fire of the burning bush
and gave him the law on Sinai:
Come and redeem us with an outstretched arm.

O Sapientia

After a little break, here’s the next Advent picture – this time based on the first of the ‘O’ antiphons:

OSapientia

O Sapientia, quae ex ore Altissimi prodiisti,
attingens a fine usque ad finem,
fortiter suaviterque disponens omnia:
veni ad docendum nos viam prudentiae.
O Wisdom, coming forth from the mouth of the Most High,
reaching from one end to the other,
mightily and sweetly ordering all things:
Come and teach us the way of prudence.

A bit late, but here is my picture for Exodus 3.14-15: “I am that I am” – what God said to Moses from the burning bush.

A day late, here is my response to the prompt ‘forgiveness’ – the scripture reference was the reconciliation between Joseph and his brothers in Genesis chapter 45, although it’s probably more Prodigal Son (on account of it being hard to draw enough people all having the same hug for it to be the sons of Israel).

Morning Prayer Doodle – 7th December

There were so many lovely things in today’s new testament reading, but I thought I’d have a go at the moment that Jesus reaches out and pulls Peter from the lake – the moment when the darkness of the water turns to the brightness of the sunlight and a lungful of air.

I’m still trying out this whole ‘drawing in colour’ thing – may take a while to get the hang of it!
