Hasten the Kingdominvites those who wish to recover the meaning of Advent to do so with the ancient O Antiphons through moments of prayer, silence, and meditation. The Great Os" short devotional texts chanted before and after a psalm or canticle are sung before and after the Magnificat, the Song of Mary, at Vespers from December 1623. Each of the antiphons welcomes the Messiah and ends with a petition of hope.Hasten the Kingdom is organized in prayer service form for use by individuals or groups.

When used by study groups all members are encouraged to take part by sharing responsibilities for the readings and contributing personal reflections.Sister Winifred offers these meditations based on the O Antiphons, together with their scriptural texts, so that we can move through the last days of Advent with joy and hope.Mary Winifred, CHS, was for many years a member of the Community of the Holy Spirit.
