Adonai

Today, in Mercy, we continue to pray the O Antiphons – beseeching the Savior to come to us. 

O Adonai calls on God to come lead us out of darkness. Let us pray today for all who live in any form of darkness – war, fear, poverty, exile, addiction, depression, illness, ignorance or indifference. 

Let us pray for God’s light for any of these situations in ourselves or our families … in our world.

As the year grows toward its greatest darkness, we seek You, Greatest Light!
O Adonai, lead us out of darkness!

O Leader of the House of Israel,
giver of the Law to Moses on Sinai:
come to rescue us with your mighty power!
R. Alleluia, alleluia.

Music: Michael G. Hegeman
