A Prayer for Today


Where charity and love prevail, there God is ever found;
Brought here together by Christ’s love, by love are we thus bound.
Forgive we now each other’s faults as we our faults confess;
And let us love each other well in Christian holiness.
Let strife among us be unknown, let all contention cease;
Be God’s the glory that we seek, be ours God’s holy peace.
Let us recall that in our midst dwells God’s begotten Son;
As members of his body joined, we are in Christ made one.
—”Ubi Caritas,” trans. By Omer Westendorf (1916-1967).
