O Emmanuel, Rex et legifer noster,
exspectatio Gentium, et Salvator earum:
veni ad salvandum nos, Domine, Deus noster.
O Emmanuel, our king and our lawgiver,
the hope of the nations and their Saviour:
Come and save us, O Lord our God.
"Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Look, the young woman is with child and shall bear a son, and shall name him Immanuel." Isaiah 7:14

The hymn O come, O come, Emmanuel (in Latin, Veni Emmanuel) is a lyrical paraphrase of these antiphons.

This door is open for visitors only once in a year, on the 9th of March.
This is the birthday of St. Frances of Rome (1384-1440) - foundress of the
Oblates of the Tor de^RSpecchi. Inside the convent there are the most
wonderful renaissance frescoes that tell the story of her life, miracles
and visions
