Ubi Caritas - Audrey Assad

--------------------
from INHERITANCE
Lyrics in Latin:
Ubi caritas et amor, Deus ibi est.
Congregavit nos in unum Christi amor.
Exsultemus, et in ipso jucundemur.
Timeamus, et amemus Deum vivum.
Et ex corde diligamus nos sincero.
Ubi caritas et amor, Deus ibi est.
Simul ergo cum in unum congregamur:
Ne nos mente dividamur, caveamus.
Cessent iurgia maligna, cessent lites.
Et in medio nostri sit Christus Deus.
Ubi caritas et amor, Deus ibi est.
Simul quoque cum beatis videamus,
Glorianter vultum tuum, Christe Deus:
Gaudium quod est immensum, atque probum,
Saecula per infinita saeculorum.

In English:
Where charity and love are, God is there.
Christ's love has gathered us into one.
Let us rejoice and be pleased in Him.
Let us fear, and let us love the living God.
And may we love each other with a sincere heart.
Where charity and love are, God is there.
As we are gathered into one body,
Beware, lest we be divided in mind.
Let evil impulses stop, let controversy cease,
And may Christ our God be in our midst.
Where charity and love are, God is there.
And may we with the saints also,
See Thy face in glory, O Christ our God:
The joy that is immense and good,
Unto the ages through infinite ages. Amen.

Nabeel's funeral brought me here. RIP my brother in Christ.

Even as an atheist I have to admit that religious music tends to be beautiful.

As we are gathered into one body,
Beware, lest we be divided in mind.
Let evil impulses stop, let controversy cease,
And may Christ our God be in our midst. <3

So very beautiful and very moved to hear this just played at Nabeel Qureshi's funeral. May he rest in the eternal peace of our loving Saviour Jesus Christ.

This song transcends the boundaries of language, offering a beautiful tapestry of melody and message. The Latin lyrics, translating to "Where charity and love are, God is there, " resonate deeply, reminding me of the divine presence that blossoms within communities united by love.🙏

Ubi caritas et amor, Deus ibi est. Congregavit not in unum Christi amor. Exultemus, et in ipso iucundemur. Timeamus, et amemus Deum vivum. Et ex corde diligamus nos sincero. Ubi caritas et amor, Deus ibi est. Simul ergo cum in unum congregamur; Ne nos mente dividamur, caveamus. Cessent iurgia maligna, cessent lites. Et in medio nostri sit Christus Deus. Ubi caritas et amor, Deus ibi est. Simul quoque cum beatis videamus, Glorianter vultum tuum, Christe Deus; Gaudium quod est immensum, atque probum, Saecula per infinita saeculorum. Amen.

I have heard this sang in church many times in my life, but never as beautifully as Audry covers it here. Thank you for such a powerful, soul shaking experience, may Christ be with you sister.

When I first heard this song in the car on the way home from a trip, my jaw just dropped at how beautiful it is. Audrey, your voice is absolutely angelic and perfect for this song. "And in the midst of us be Christ our God..." wow. It just takes my breath away. Praise the Lord for songs like this! Thank you so much for sharing this video. God bless you <3

[ducdieu]

The song is very deep and moving, making us think and feel about the communion between Christians. May God let us unite as one as before, in communion with each other to worship him. May God pour out all his blessings on all Christians and all mankind

Just beautiful and perfect for today! Ubi Caritas is the prayer/hymn traditionally sung at Holy Thursday (Maundy Thursday) Mass during Holy Week. I love Audrey's take on traditional hymns, and I love her originals as well, and her use of scripture and prayer in song. She has been blessed with immense talent, and a beautiful angelic voice!

I am Protestant, but I learned Latin in school, and when I heard this, I knew I had to find the translation to share. Thank you Audrey for posting this song! It's beautiful!

Long Live Christ the King! Long Live Our Lady!

Beautiful Audrey. I love the Inheritance album and Ubi Caritas is one of my favourite songs on the album. Thank you for your music. I thank God for the gift He has given you.

According to Wikipedia:

""Ubi caritas" is a hymn of the Western Church, long used as one of the antiphons for the washing of feet on Maundy Thursday. Its text was written by Paulinus of Aquileia in 796. The traditional melody probably also stems from the late 8th century."

Parabéns Audrey Assad. Sua música é linda principalmente a Ubi Caritas, è uma meditação ao tempo de Jesus, quando Ele caminhava e andava entre seu povo, nosso povo. Brasil.
