On the final seven days of Advent, we invite you to join the Marina Christian Fellowship in this daily audio devotional. Special thanks to Jonathan Fenwick and his team at MCF for sharing this beautiful, invaluable resource.
The following is an introduction from their website: www.oantiphon.weebly.com
Tomorrow I Will Come is an Advent audio devotional project produced by Marina Christian Fellowship based on the “O Antiphons.”
The “O Antiphons” are traditionally read or chanted during the evening daily prayers (Vespers) on the final 7 nights of Advent leading up to Christmas Eve (December 17th – 23rd). They often precede the “Magnificat”, known as the Song of Mary. Each of the 7 Antiphons is based on a name or attribute of Christ found in the writings of the prophet Isaiah. The well known Advent carol, “O Come, O Come Emmanuel” was based on the O Antiphons with each verse corresponding to one of the antiphons.
Various current and former members of our fellowship have written a reflective devotional for each one of these antiphons. We then recorded these meditations along with the corresponding antiphon. That is followed by the appropriate verse of “O Come, O Come Emmanuel” and the “Magnificat” or Song of Mary (Luke 1:46-55).
We hope that you will take a few minutes each day on the week leading up to Christmas to listen, pray, and meditate on the real meaning of the season; God’s salvation to us through Jesus Christ!
