Ubi Caritas: where charity and love are, God is there
Ola Gjeilo, the pianist in this piece, is also the composer of the work which is played and sung below. He is Swedish and it was written in 2011. You will recognize that the Trinity Choir has sung this piece several times under the direction of our most recent choir masters. The words are:
Where charity and love are, God is there
The love of Christ has gathered us together.
Let us rejoice and be glad in it.
Let us revere and love the living God.
And from a sincere heart let us love one another. Amen.
We know that we do not have to be together in the same physical space to “be one in the spirit.” Let us continue to pray for one another, pray for our community, and pray for our country and the world. Where charity and love are, God is there.
