A new look at ‘O Come All Ye faithful’

From Fr Martin Cochem’s Explanation of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass

This last verse of this carol takes on a whole new significance when looked at through Eucharistic eyes. Wilcocks penned the greatest chord in the repertoire for “WORD of the Father now in flesh appearing.” This is not only true of the incarnation but at the consecration in every Mass. The holy spirit overshadows the priest as He did Our Blessed Lady and the Eternal Word is Made Flesh.

Venite Adoremus!
