Unlocking the Mystery of the O Antiphons & "O Come, O Come Emmanuel" with Dr Chris Burgwald


Listen Later

There's ancient beauty hidden in the "O Antiphons" that connect to the popular Advent hymn "O Come, O Come Emmanuel." This week I share an "Ignition" episode I co-hosted with Dr Chris Burwald for his show. We dive deep into these treasures of Advent, exploring their rich meaning and uncovering a clever "code" embedded in the Latin text—a message that proclaims: Tomorrow, I will come!

We’ll decode this beautiful secret, walk through each Antiphon’s profound titles for Christ, and reflect on their spiritual power. Plus, I’ll share some LIT (and tasty!) ways to bring these days to life with fun, themed foods inspired by the O' Antiphons. Whether you’re looking for deeper prayer or joyful celebration, this episode has something for everyone.

Join us for a journey into Advent wonder that will leave you inspired to say, “Come, Lord Jesus!”
