O Oriens!


O Dawn of the east,
brightness of Light Eternal, and Sun of Justice:
come, and enlighten those who sit in darkness
and the shadow of death.


As we celebrate the Light coming into the world, O Oriens, our Jewish brothers and sisters are celebrating another miracle of lights and the courage and faith of the Maccabees who stood fast in the one true faith in the face of oppression. Check out this interesting connection between the Church and Hanukkah from Faith and Family!

Ps. The Maccabees were so awesome because their mama nursed them for 3 years. Just sayin'....
