Awaiting Emmanuel: O Antiphons with the Emmaus Institute

A retreat based on the seven “O Antiphons” of Advent led by the Emmaus Institute for Biblical Studies team.

The recording includes five conferences:

Friday evening—introduction and invitation to meeting Jesus in the “O” Antiphons (Joshua Burks)
Saturday morning—Antiphons 1 & 2 (Vern Steiner)
Saturday afternoon—Antiphons 3 & 4 (Joshua Burks)
Saturday evening—Antiphons 5 & 6 (Joshua Burks)
Sunday morning—Antiphon 7 (Vern Steiner)

The reflections will focus on:

• the Antiphon itself
• a brief biblical development of the theme from the Old Testament, especially Isaiah
• an explanation of how Jesus is the fulfillment/incarnation/embodiment of the Antiphon
• a strong emphasis on how this applies today, where and how it is to be a reality in our lives
