O Rising Dawn!

O Rising Dawn, Radiance of the Light eternal and Sun of Justice: come and enlighten those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death. ~ O Antiphon for December 21

O Rising Dawn, who lightens our darkness ... in whose light we see light ... who made the great lights and yet outshines them all ... for whom even darkness is not dark and night is as clear as the day ... whose life is the light of men ... who lives in unapproachable light yet dwells among us ... who has come into our world as light so that whoever believes in You may never remain in darkness ... O Morning Star that never sets ... O Sun of Righteousness who rises with healing in your wings! ... Light from Light, God from God, True God from True God! O Rising Dawn, come!

O Mary, Virgin of Advent, blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus!
