A Celebration of Advent O’s: Come Wisdom, Come Daystar, Come Emmanuel

Step into the stillness of Advent and listen for the ancient cry that echoes through time: “O Wisdom… O Radiant Dawn… O Emmanuel, come.” This 16th annual retreat invites you to enter the heart of these sacred “O Antiphons,” honoring the deep longing and luminous hope they express.

Through reflection, ritual, Eucharist, and spiritual companioning, we will pause in these days before Christmas to recognize grace, life, and promise. Guided reflections will invite prayerful awareness and open-hearted discovery, while quiet spaces offer solitude and rest in God’s presence.

As the light lengthens toward the dawn of Christ’s coming, we will gather as a community to be O-ed and awed—celebrating the gifts of Wisdom that guides, the Daystar that awakens, and Emmanuel who dwells with us. Within an atmosphere of warmth and peace, let us welcome with anticipation the unfolding gifts of Hope, Peace, Joy, and Love.
