Once I Was A Clever Boy: O Rex Gentium

Friday 22 December 2023

Today’s Antiphon is O Rex Gentium:

O King of the nations ( Rex Gentium ), and their desire,

the cornerstone making both one:

Come and save the human race,

which you fashioned from clay.

My post about the Antiphon can be read at O Rex gentium

Once I Was A Clever Boy: I am a Catholic and a historian based in Oxford, where I am a member of Oriel College. My research, for a long delayed D.Phil., is a study of Richard Fleming, Bishop of Lincoln in the second decade of the fifteenth century. I also work as a freelance tutor in History and as an independent tour guide. I was received into the Church in 2005 and am a Brother of the External Oratory of St Philip Neri at the Oxford Oratory.
