Ep. 72 | Let Christ’s Light In
from Meditations · host Called to More
What does it mean to call Jesus the “Key of David”? In this meditation, Fr Gavan reflects on O Clavis David, the antiphon that proclaims Christ as the one who opens what no one can shut and shuts what no one can open. Drawing on Isaiah’s prophecy, the image of the key laid upon the shoulder, and the deep symbolism of midwinter’s darkness, we discover how Christ alone can unlock the prisons within our own hearts. As the days slowly begin to lengthen, this antiphon invites us to ask the Lord to bring light into the shadows of our souls and to lead us out of darkness into His freedom.🔴 THIS SERIESMeditations | Ep. 72Meditations is a weekly podcast with Fr Gavan Jennings produced by Called to More.
