Don't let the title fool you. I did not use the "Wingdings" font. It is really seven O's. That's because today we're going to talk about the "O" Antiphons, and there are seven of them.
Feasts for the Week:  December 10-16.  For more information, check out the New Advent Website.
Suggestion Box: Third Sunday of Advent

Music:
1. Veni, Veni, Emmanuel (Verse 1/Chant, Mode I), by the Four Bitmaps (Just who in tarnation ARE those guys?)
2. Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence (tune: Picardy), by Fugli, courtesy of Podsafe.

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly: Advent Edition, brought to you by the Talking Confessional Box.

On this videocast, I'm issuing the same challenge that I issued earlier in the week on Christus Vincit ANYWHERE! episode #105. I forgot to mention in the videocast, however, that the deadline for submission is December 16, 2007 - Gaudete Sunday (as well as Beethoven's birthday... I've been an avid Peanuts fan since I was a wee one, and I still remember that Schroeder once had a big birthday party for Beethoven).

You'll love our doggie treat. I didn't write this one; got it from a local colleague. I did attempt to do my best Burt Bacharach ripoff with it.

Finally, CVTV and CVA are now sharing this website! So now CVTV viewers can enjoy the same perks as CVA listeners!
