Many Benedictine Oblates use the Monastic Diurnal to pray their Daily Offices. In Advent, each day has particular antiphons written for it at Lauds and Vespers. Each antiphon is a short verse, or an allusion to a verse from the Gospel reading for the Sunday that begins each week. This little collection of Reflections arises from Lectio Divina on these antiphons and it is hoped that they will allow the reader to find some assistance in the practice of devotion during Advent.

As well as the name of a virus, a corona is a crown, the pearly glow around the sun in certain astronomical conditions and a poetic form where interlinking lines connect a sequence. It is the perfect name therefore for this new collection of 150 poems by the bestselling poet Malcolm Guite, each one written in response to the Bible’s 150 psalms as they appear in William Coverdale’s timeless translation. The Psalms express every human emotion with disarming honesty, as anger and thankfulness alike are directed at God. All of life is here with its moments of beauty and its times of despair and shame. Like the Psalms themselves, the poems do not avoid the cursing and glorying over the downfall of your enemies, but wrestle honestly with them as we do when we come to say them.
