The O-Antiphons conjure up God\u2019s fiery presence in a burning bush. <i>Bed Bath &amp; Beyond <\/i>advertises a Feng Shui Candle Gift Set. The candles \u201cfollow in the tradition of feng shui\u2014a way of living harmoniously with the natural environment.\u201d The burning bush, on the other hand, seems quite destructive of the harmony of the natural environment, even if it did not actually consume the bush. From the description of the gift set, I learn that each Feng Shui candle \u201crepresents one of the elements believed to affect one\u2019s fortune according to Ancient Chinese legend.\u201d I assume that the burning bush is an \u201cAncient Hebrew legend\u201d that would not help sales of anything much this Christmas season. The Feng Shui Candle Gift Set, on the other hand, comes with \u201cinstructions on finding your element and even what direction to face your candle while burning it\u201d\u2014all for $14.99.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Come, warrior god, fiery presence, powerful redeemer, open your arms wide to defend me. But against what? The Feng Shui Candle Gift Set cannot possibly be the enemy. What, then, is? There are five more O-Antiphons and six more shopping days to ponder these questions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/praytellblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/O-Adonai-copy.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"304\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-28610\" alt=\"O Adonai copy\" src=\"https:\/\/praytellblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/O-Adonai-copy.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":50401,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3119,91,18],"tags":[588],"class_list":["post-28609","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-plaza-new-ws","category-liturgical-year","category-liturgy-of-the-hours","tag-o-antiphons"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
