THE O ANTIPHONS
O Root of Jesse,
standing as a sign among the peoples,
before you kings will shut their mouths;
to you the nations will make their prayer.
Come and deliver us, and delay no longer.

Thomas à Kempis • The Imitation of Christ: (Original translation as heard on the Hallow App)

Jesus, strengthen me.
An anonymous prayer from Evelyn Underhill’s Prayer Book

Litany of Humility - Ascension
Where the Spirit hovers, chaos is not the final word—freedom is coming.
Genesis 1:2: The Spirit hovers over a world described as tohu vavohu (“formless and void,” chaos).
When the Word is spoken, light and order break in. Creation is liberated from emptiness and darkness.
The same Spirit who hovered in Genesis is hovering still, bringing light into
