O Rising Sun


The banner was designed by
the Benedictine Sisters
of Turvey Abbey and
O Antiphon...
O Rising Sun,
the splendor of eternal light
and brilliant sun of justice,
come and with your holy light,
shine on us who sit in darkness
and in death's shadow!

"The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; Upon those who lived in a land of gloom a light has shone."
(Isaiah 9: 1)
"Now I am sending my messenger—he will prepare the way before me; And the lord whom you seek will come suddenly to his temple; The messenger of the covenant whom you desire— see, he is coming! says the LORD of hosts.They shall be mine, says the LORD of hosts, my own special possession, on the day when I take action. And I will have compassion on them, as a man has compassion on his son who serves him.  For the day is coming, blazing like an oven, when all the arrogant and all evildoers will be stubble, And the day that is coming will set them on fire, leaving them neither root nor branch, says the LORD of hosts. But for you who fear my name, the sun of justice will arise with healing in its wings; And you will go out leaping like calves from the stall and tread down the wicked; They will become dust under the soles of your feet, on the day when I take action, says the LORD of hosts" (Malachi 3: 1, 17, 19-21)
