O Antiphon: December 23

O Emmanuel, God-with-us, our king and lawgiver, the one whom the nations await and their savior: come to save us, O Lord our God.

This is the final antiphonal prayer. We wait just a little longer, in the quiet of our hearts through Christmas Eve, to the great joy that is ours when Christ comes. May Christ be born anew in your hearts this Christmas Day (and every day!).
