Ubi cáritas et ámor, Déus ibi est.

This weekend's Gospel lesson is John 13:31-35. At the end of this passage, Jesus says:
"I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another."
The title of this posting translates into English as: "Where charity and love are, God is there." It is the first line of the anthem that the Chancel Choir will sing this Sunday at the offering during the 10:30 a.m. service. Ubi caritas is from Four Motets on Gregorian themes by Maurice Dureflé (1902-1986) and is based on an ancient plainchant melody.
