What kind of God draws near to us at Christmas? In this meditation, Fr Gavan reflects on the O Antiphon O Adonai — “O Lord” — the ancient title that reveals the Child of Bethlehem as the same God who spoke to Moses from the burning bush. Standing before the holiness of Sinai, Israel trembled at God’s power, yet in the manger that same majesty becomes small enough to hold in our arms. Through this short antiphon, we explore how the mighty “outstretched arm” that once shook mountains now reaches out to save us, inviting us to come close without fear. 🔴 THIS SERIESMeditations | Ep. 70Meditations is a weekly podcast with Fr Gavan Jennings produced by Called to More.

What are you longing for this Advent? In this meditation, Fr Gavan reflects on the first of the O Antiphons, O Sapientia — “O Wisdom.” In this brief invocation prayed each evening before Christmas, the Church reveals Christ as the eternal Logos who orders all things “mightily and sweetly,” even in the hidden smallness of the Child in the manger. Through this ancient prayer, we explore what it means to recognise Jesus as true Wisdom and to ask Him to “come and teach us the way of prudence.”

What are you really looking for in life? In this meditation, Fr Gavan reflects on Simeon’s canticle, the Nunc Dimittis – “Now, Lord, let your servant depart in peace.” Holding the infant Jesus in his arms, Simeon knows his deepest desire has been fulfilled. Through this short passage from Luke’s Gospel, we explore what it means to “see” Christ, why so many distractions leave us restless, and how fixing our gaze on Jesus brings a peace nothing else can give.
