I hope you post all of Fr. Nay's Antiphons

As a matter of fact, I have all 7 links, ready to post each day. This has been my own personal little retreat each Advent. I sure miss seeing him on Gloria TV. Wasn't he one of the first cancelled priests?

@Gloria Thomas: Think of Our Lady as of a postman bringing us the graces from heaven. Did you receive your Christmas gifts from the postman? You didn't. Would you have received the Christmas gifts without the postman: neither. There is no conflict between the Holy Spirit and Our Lady. There is "collaboration".

@Jungerheld: That's a complicated question. This could be an answer: The only reason why God allows sin is, because (despite Amoris Laetitia) we can always do something against it, and by doing so, we even "benefit from sin". So if there are cases when we don't counteract sin, either by believing that it is impossible or by denying the existence of it, then, clearly, we have in some way or the …More

Thank you dear Father Reto for helping me to begin, in earnest, my Christmas preparation.
Gloria Thomas
Here is my question: Fr. Reto tells us that we are to listen to the voice of God, the Holy Spirit speaking within us. This is truly the Catholic Faith. But others tell us now we must receive all grace from the Blessed Virgin Mary. Are we to hear her voice? This is a great paradox to me.
Jungerheld
Amen! Christ's wisdom works sweetly. The devil doesn't work sweetly. So why is it, as Fr. Reto also says, we so often find sin where we can't do much against it and where we could do something against sin, we deny it?

GRACIAS P. RETO, POR ESTAS MEDITACIONES DE LAS ANTÍFONAS QUE NOS AYUDAN A PREPARARNOS A LA NAVIDAD.
PRIMERA ANTÍFONA:
O Sapientia: ¡Oh Sabiduría que saliste de la boca del Altísimo, que alcanzas tu fin con fuerza, y dispones todas las cosas con dulzura! Ven a enseñarnos la senda de la prudencia”. 👏 👏 👍 🤗

(Please correct me if I'm in error). We're helpless, easily distracted and deceived. Must dwell with/seek God's Presence who rules all things mightily and seeks to redeem us body and soul...the spirit may be willing but the flesh is weak - hence to rely on the Holy Spirit as you preached in a Lenten retreat awhile back.

The importance of "O Antiphons" is twofold: Each one highlights a title for the Messiah: O Sapientia (O Wisdom), O Adonai (O Lord), O Radix Jesse (O root of Jesse), O Clavis David (O Key of David), O Oriens (O Rising Sun), O Rex Gentium (O King of the Nations), and O Emmanuel. Also, each one refers to the prophecy of Isaiah of the coming of the Messiah: ................................. O Sapientia …More

Also, each one refers to the prophecy of Isaiah of the coming of the Messiah: ................................. O Sapientia: O Wisdom, O holy Word of God, you govern all creation with your strong yet tender care. Come and show your people the way to salvation." Isaiah had prophesied, "The spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him: a spirit of wisdom and of understanding, a spirit of counsel and of strength, a spirit of knowledge and fear of the Lord." (11:2-3), and "Wonderful is His counsel and great is His wisdom.". (28:29).

Nice start to the online retreat.

I have a couple of questions.
First, are we allowed to ask questions regarding the subject matter?
Second, will those questions be answered?
