Listen, Read, Reflect;
From the Bible;
For a child has been born for us, a
son given us; authority rests upon his shoulders; and he is named Wonderful
Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." Isaiah 9:6
"He
shall judge between the nations, and shall arbitrate for many peoples; they
shall beat their swords into ploughshares, and their spears into pruning-hooks;
nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war
anymore." Isaiah 2:4
"But
now, O LORD, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we
all are the work of thy hand. Isaiah 64:8
Also compare Isaiah 28:16 and Ephesians 2:14
The Antiphon;
O Rex Gentium, et desideratus
earum,
lapisque angularis, qui facis
utraque unum:
veni, et salva hominem,
quem de limo formasti.
In English;
O King of the nations, and their
desire,
the cornerstone making both one:
Come and save the human race,
which you fashioned from clay.
from the hymn;
O come, Desire of nations, bind
All peoples in one heart and mind;
Bid envy, strife and quarrels cease;
Fill the whole world with heaven’s peace.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.
