Kyrie
eleison
- O Antiphons - St. Jude, Advent
The words Kyrie eleison mean "Lord, have mercy" in Greek.
In our Advent penitential rite we sing these ancient words to Christ. Our
invocations to Christ are based on the
“Great O
Antiphons.”

Jubilee Hymn: Te Deum
The Te Deum is the
great Christian hymn of Thanksgiving. It was sung after great victories or
after delivery from catastrophe. It is sung in the Office of Readings of
the Liturgy of the Hours. It is the hymn for the ending of every year, a
celebration of the Holy Trinity.
