22nd December: O King

Today we remember Christ in the antiphon O King ... depending on the translation it is O king of the gentiles, O king of the nations, O king of the peoples ... and for all a king of peace. As the gospel acclamation reminds us the cornerstone of the Church, the foundation on who we build our lives.  For ideas of how to celebrate with children and a link the the hymn O come Emmanuel which covers each of the O Antiphons click here for last year's post on O King of the nations.

O King of the nations

Alleliua, Alleliua,
king of the peoples,
and corner-stone of the Church,
come and save man
whom you made from the dust of the earth
Alleliua
