Sicut enim majus est illuminare quam lucere solum, ita majus est contemplata aliis tradere quam solum contemplari.
Where orthodoxy is optional, orthodoxy will sooner or later be prohibited.

Just as an aside, the PRemonstratensian liturgy (even the revised) started the O Antiphons yesterday, there being one extra on 23rd December:
O Virgo virginum
quomodo fiet istud?
Quia nec primam similem visa es
nec habere sequentem.
Filiae Ierusalem,
quid me admiramini?
Divinum est mysterium hoc quod cernitis.
I believe the Sarum rite also used this O Antiphon?
Blessings!
Yes, this is one of those nice mediæval items that one finds in various rites.
I've tracked down a number of such supernumerary O Antiphons, about which I'll post presently...
Thanks, Fr Martin!
