O Oriens, splendor lucis aeternae, et sol justitiae:veni, et illumina sedentes in tenebris,et umbra mortis.
O Morning Star, splendor of light eternal and sun of righteousness:Come and enlighten those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death.
From the Latin Vespers:
O Oriens, O Morning Star, O Rising Sun... on this day, which is also the Winter Solstice, we are ending the longest night of the year - and the Sun will rise a bit earlier from today through the Summer Solstice. We look to the Lord our God, who brightens our darkest day! Hallelujah!
And, Happy Birthday to my baby brother, Bill!

Keep in mind while posting:
1) Please respond ON TOPIC to the article at hand.
2) Posts more than 4 weeks old are set to automatically save new comments for moderation - so your comment may not show up immediately if you're responding to an older post.
3) The "Spam Filter" is on - and randomly messages get caught in that filter. I have no control over which messages get caught in the spam filter and those that do must wait for me to mark them as "not spam." A message caught by the spam filter may show up for a moment, making you think it posted, and then disappear. Do not assume I have deleted your comment, it's probably just the spam filter and it will show up.
