“Ubi Caritas: An Ancient Hymn for Today”

In this “Space for God: Beauty” devotional, Rick Mastroianni (Coracle Spiritual Director) introduces us to the ancient Latin hymn “Ubi Caritas.”  He invites us to consider how this hymn can 1) root our imaginations and hopes in the sacrificial love of Jesus on our behalf, 2) remind us that we participate in a communion of saints spanning history and the globe, and 3) exhort us to remember our first love and live accordingly.  Rick closes by sharing 3 very different versions of the hymn, which you can find in the playlists below.
