Liturgical Hints & Ideas:
The coming splendor of the Messiah is to be seen by all flesh.
While Advent must remain subdued in tone so as not to overshadow the Christmas festival, today is a day when some of that "splendor" can shine through.
Try a choral processional — perhaps a litany using the titles of the Messiah found in the O Antiphons.
