Call to Worship (congregational response in chant)

All:            Ubi caritas et amor; ubi caritas Deus ibi est.  (*)

One:            Surely God is in this place, we have only to open ourselves to compassion and love.

All:            Ubi caritas et amor; ubi caritas Deus ibi est.

One:            Surely Jesus sits among us, we have only to share the good news of his radical love in our community.

All:            Ubi caritas et amor; ubi caritas Deus ibi est.

One:            Surely the Spirit, Wisdom, Sophia dwells within us, we have only to live fully into all that is placed in our hearts.

All:            Ubi caritas et amor; ubi caritas Deus ibi est.

(*)  Where there is compassion and love, there is God.  (Taize)
