LITURGICAL MATTERS:
O Antiphons: Beginning on Tuesday, December 17, we enter the final stage of Advent as we pray the "O, Antiphons" in the divine liturgy, calling for Christ to come. The opening of each antiphon addresses Christ under a different messianic title. The first letter of each, working backwards, spells "ERO CRAS" (Tomorrow, I will be). See Catholic Culture for more information.

Ember Days: In addition, this week is the first set of Ember Days for the liturgical year. These are kept four times a year: "Lucy, Ashes, Dove and Cross" as the saying goes. On the Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday of an Ember week, we fast, pray, and abstain in thanksgiving and petition.
