INTROIT: Ubi Caritas et Amor (Where There Is Love and Charity) by Richard Proulx
Ubi caritas et amore, Deus ibi est. Where true love and charity are found, God himself is there. Since the love of Christ has brought us all together. Let us then rejoice and be glad, all together. Let everyone fear and love God all together. And let us love one another with sincere hearts. Ubi caritas et amore, Deus ibi est. Therefore, when we gather as one, all together, let us be as one in the Lord, all together. May careless thought, action, or deed not divide us. Let Christ, our God, dwell among us, in every heart. Ubi caritas et amore, Deus ibi est. Let us with the blessed ones see thy great beauty. Christ, our God, eternally throned in great splendor, there to possess joy without end, all together.
