O Key of David, and sceptre of the house of Israel, who open and none may close, who close and none may open, come and bring out of prison the captive who sits in darkness and the shadow of death. ~O Antiphon for December 20O Key of David, the Father has entrusted all things to You, giving you all power and authority on heaven and earth. You open for us who believe the Kingdom which You purchased for us with Your most precious Bllood, "a kingdom of truth and life ... of holiness and grace ... of justice, love, and peace." You invite us to enter in and dwell with You and the Father for all eternity. You shut the door on all the darkness of hell and sin, of pain and death, of sadness and fear. You lead us into the splendor of Everlasting Light, setting us free to live for the praise of Your glory. O Key of David, come!
O Mary, Virgin of Advent, blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus!
