The "O Antiphons" of Advent: December 19 - O Root of Jesse
Around the Archdiocese
12/19/23 • 2 min
December 19
O Root of Jesse’s stem,
sign of God’s love for all his people:
come to save us without delay!
The Roman Church has been singing the "O" Antiphons since at least the eighth century. They are the antiphons that accompany the Magnificat canticle of Evening Prayer from December 17-23. They are a magnificent theology that uses ancient biblical imagery drawn from the messianic hopes of the Old Testament to proclaim the coming Christ as the fulfillment not only of Old Testament hopes, but present ones as well. Their repeated use of the imperative "Come!" embodies the longing of all for the Divine Messiah.

Living the Corporal Works of Mercy - Ministering to Those in Prison with Scott Underwood, Trey Mirenda and Tony VanDerbur
Around the Archdiocese
06/28/24 • 42 min
Most of us are familiar with the Corporal Works of Mercy, but the instruction to visit those in prison can be a challenge to many Catholics. Maybe we are held back by fear or intimidation or perhaps we don't know how to help or where to start.
Today I'm joined by Scott Underwood, Associate Director with the Office of Correctional Ministries for the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston, Trey Mirenda, a Catholic chaplain with the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and Tony VanDerbur, the Executive Director of Christian New Creation, which runs Isaiah House and Providence House.
Together, they share stories of hope, forgiveness, and transformation from their ministries to bring Christ to those incarcerated in the prisons and jails located across the Archdiocese.

Singing the 'O Antiphons' with Zachary Turner

Singing the O Antiphons with Zachary Turner
December 11, 2023
Season 01, Episode 12
Next Sunday, we enter the second half of Advent. Beginning on Dec. 17, the Church will sing the 'O Antiphons' as part of Evening Prayer. These antiphons use ancient biblical imagery drawn from the messianic hopes of the Old Testament to proclaim the coming Christ as the fulfillment not only of Old Testament hopes, but present ones as well. The use of Gregorian chant enhances the beauty of the antiphons and draws us into a deeper contemplation of the longing of all for the Divine Messiah.
This week, we speak with Zachary Turner, Director of Sacred Music at St. Mary's Seminary in Houston, to learn about the role of sacred music in the liturgical life of the Church, and why we should take time this Advent to reflect on the 'O Antiphons.'

Back to the Beginning with Lisa May
December 4, 2023
Season 01, Episode 11
As the fifth-largest diocese in the United States, it can be hard to imagine what the Catholic Church in Galveston-Houston looked like hundreds of years ago. But understanding our history can allow us to see how far we've come, challenge us in our own faith journeys, and remind us to be thankful for those who helped to establish the Church in Texas.
Lisa May, director of the Archives Office, joins us to share the history of our diocese from the early Spanish missionaries in the 1600s until the founding of the Diocese of Galveston in 1847 and our first bishop, The Right Reverend Jean Marie Odin.
