I was just reading in Around the Year with the Trapp Family that there is a tradition of linking the O Antiphons with the 7 Gifts of the Holy Spirit. Of course, they mentioned this tradition, but did not elaborate as to the specifics (as in, which links with which).

Does anyone have this information? I think it would make a very neat study, especially with high school age dc.

Thanks in advance.

Peace,
Nancy

Nancy,

I've read that book over and over again, but it wasn't until I posted it for the blog when that phrase caught my eye. I've studied the O Antiphons for many years, and never saw that reference anywhere else. Perhaps the primary source would have it, but I don't have access. I Googled, and had no luck.

I brainstormed with my mother a bit trying to id the O Antiphons with the Seven Gifts. I'm only sure of one, and that's the obvious.

Wisdom -- O Sapienta/O Wisdom
Understanding --
Knowledge --
Counsel --
Fortitude --
Piety --
Fear of the Lord --

I was thinking O Adonai/Lord of Lords might be Fear of the Lord, since the image is the burning bush.

O Oriens/Dayspring might be understanding?

O Radix Jesse/Root of Jesse
O Clavis Davis/Key of David
O Rex Gentium/King of Nations
O Emmanuel/Emmanuel

Then again, there might not be corresponding gifts with antiphons, but just the general gifts come with Emmmanuel's coming?

Jenn -

I was hoping you would respond! I agree that the O Wisdom has an obvious correlate in Wisdom (the Gift of the HS). The others I couldn't figure out either as far as direct "this points to that." Maybe as you suggest it is a general similarity.

I hope to catch half an hour to try and search this on line a little further and also to ask a well-read friend IRL if she knows anything about this.

Thanks.
Peace,
Nancy
