Oh, speaking of Issues, Etc.
You can begin to listen to meditations on the great O Antiphons beginning tomorrow. These powerful prayers to Christ - each featuring an Old Testament title for the Savior - are traditionally sung at Vespers from December 17th to 23rd. The shows from Issues will feature chorale renditions of each of them, many times using the Healy Willan/Carl Schalk settings published by Concordia Publishing House. Also note that the Antiphons are listed each day in the Treasury of Daily Prayer.

You gonna do the O antiphons this year?
I'd love to be there -- have those whipped into shape, chant, Latin and all!
Can't promise I won't slide over to the piano for a little "Precious Lord, Take My Hand" like Jimmy last Sunday though.
Guaranteed, you'll have more people on their feet hands in the air than an angry Voters' Meeting!
