Daily Guidance - January 10

Seeing Our Lady of Charity

reminded me of the song,

"Where Charity and Love Prevail.

Chorus:

Where Charity and Love Prevail,

there God is ever found.

Brought here together by Christ's love,

by love are we thus bound. 

With grateful joy and holy fear

God’s charity we learn;

Let us with heart and mind and soul

now love God in return.

Forgive we now each other’s faults

as we our faults confess;

And let us love each other well

in Christian holiness.

Let strife among us be unknown,

let all contention cease;

Be God’s the glory that we seek,

be ours God’s holy peace.

Let us recall that in our midst

dwells God’s begotten Son;

As members of his body joined,

we are in Christ made one.

No race or creed can love exclude,

if honored be God’s name;

Our family embraces all

whose Father is the same.

Text: Ubi Caritas, tr. Omer Westendorf (1961)

Tune: CHRISTIAN LOVE, CM, by Paul Benoit (1961)
