Morning Prayer - WEDNESDAY, 07 Dec 2022

LISTEN | Morning Prayer - December 7, 2022 | Memorial of St. Ambrose, Bishop an Doctor

"The Lord is the source of all wisdom: come, let us adore him." - Entrance antiphon

The Church celebrates the Memorial of St. Ambrose (340-397), who was born at Treves in Gaul, a territory which embraced modern France, Britain, Spain, and part of Africa. He studied in Rome and later became governor of Liguria and Aemelia with residence at Milan. While supervising the election of a new bishop of Milan in 374, he himself was suddenly acclaimed the bishop. He was only a catechumen at the time and was ordained a priest and consecrated a bishop on December 7. He wrote much on the Scriptures and Fathers, preached a homily every Sunday, resisted the interference of the secular powers with the rights of the Church, opposed the heretics, and was instrumental in bringing about the conversion of St. Augustine. He composed many hymns, promoted sacred chant, and took a great interest in the Liturgy.

Join the whole Christian community in praising and thanking the Lord for the gift of a new day through the ancient tradition of the Office of Lauds.
