The O Antiphons refer to the seven antiphons that are recited. They are the Antiphons preceding the Magnificat during evening prayer of the Liturgy of the Hours, from December 17-23 as well as the Alleluia verse preceding the Gospel during daily Mass. This year the priests of Immaculate Heart of Mary offer reflections on these antiphons in the hope that they will help your prayer and preparation for the coming celebration of Christmas. May our loving God continue to bless you and your family this Advent season.

Why go to Mass on Sunday? Certainly not just to follow a ritual. As Pope Francis says, “If you are the same at the end of Mass as you were at the beginning, something is wrong.” This is because “the Eucharist is the presence of Jesus,” who “comes and must transform you.” This is how Pope Francis begins the video with the prayer intention for July, produced by the Pope’s Worldwide Prayer Network, with the help of the Archdiocese of Detroit.
