O Clavis David - December 20th


O Key of David, and Sceptre of the house of Israel; that openest, and no man shutteth, and shuttest, and no man openeth: come and bring the prisoner out of the prison-house, and him that sitteth in darkness and the shadow of death.

O God, eternal majesty, whose ineffable Word the immaculate Virgin received by the message of an Angel, and so became the dwelling place of divinity filled with the light of the Holy Spirit: grant, we beseech thee; that by her example we may in humility hold fast to thy will; through Jesus Christ thy Son our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, ever one God, world without end. Amen.
