Where charity and love are, there God is.
The love of Christ has gathered us into one flock.
Let us exult, and in Him be joyful.
Let us fear and let us love the living God.
And from a sincere heart let us love each other (and Him).
Where charity and love are, there God is.
Therefore, whensoever we are gathered as one:
Lest we in mind be divided, let us beware.
Let cease malicious quarrels, let strife give way.
And in the midst of us be Christ our God.
Where charity and love are, there God is.
Together also with the blessed may we see,
Gloriously, Thy countenance, O Christ our God:
A joy which is immense, and also approved:
Through infinite ages of ages.
Amen.
I am singing a song this Good Friday. It is called A Lenten Song by Helen Kemp.
At the end there is a Latin phrase. I didn't know what it meant and thought I would look it up. This is the poem that I ran across in my search. The full phrase in the song is the first line of this poem.
I learned something more about Tradition today. And now, so have you.
