December 19
O ROOT OF JESSE, who stands for an ensign of the people, before whom kings shall keep silence and unto whom the Gentiles shall make supplication: Come to deliver us, and tarry not.
(Pause, Reflect, Pray: Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be and/or Pro Sanctity Prayer)
Isaiah 11:1-3, 10 Symbol: vine or plant in flower, especially a rose.
O Root of Jesse
You are our sign
Raised up before all upon the cross
All stand silent seeking your aid
O Root of Jesse
The mighty fall at your feet
Come deliver us from sorrow
Kings are silent in your majestic presence
O Root of Jesse come
Do not delay
Help us in our time of need
