Ubi Caritas (Where Charity Is) by Maurice Durufle adapted by J. Mark Baker
Where there is charity and love, God is there. The love of Christ has gathered us as one.
Let us rejoice and be glad in it. Let us honor and love the living God.
And from a sincere heart Let us love one another.

† CALL TO MISSION
They Will Know We Are Christians by Our Love (verses 1 & 3) – Faith We Sing #2223
1. We are one in the Spirit, we are one in the Lord, we are one in the Spirit, we are one in the Lord, and we pray that all unity may one day be restored:
And they’ll know we are Christians by our love, by our love;
yes, they’ll know we are Christians by our love.
3. We will work with each other, we will work side by side, we will work with each other, we will work side by side, and we’ll guard human dignity and save human pride:
And they’ll know we are Christians by our love, by our love;
yes, they’ll know we are Christians by our love.
