Description

For many, Advent can disappear amid the excitement and preparations of Christmas. Yet it is one of the richest seasons of the Christian year: a time of waiting and longing that looks back to Christ’s coming at Bethlehem while looking forward to His promised return.

At the heart of Advent’s final days are the Great ‘O’ Antiphons, ancient prayers sung with the Magnificat at Vespers and treasured in the Church’s liturgy for centuries. Each invokes Christ under a different title drawn from Scripture and unfolds through a threefold movement of invocation, acclamation and supplication.

In Restoring Ruin’d Nature, Fr Joseph Welch explores these remarkable texts, uncovering their layers of scriptural, theological and devotional meaning. Moving through the seven antiphons from O Sapientia to O Emmanuel, he traces the great story of salvation: creation and the fall, prophecy and promise, the Incarnation, redemption and the restoration of our fallen nature in Christ.

Richly rooted in Scripture and Catholic tradition while remaining accessible to the general Christian reader, Restoring Ruin’d Nature offers a deeper encounter with Advent and the hope that lies at its heart.
