A COSMIC PRAYER (music: Carson Cooman, 2002, text: Howard Georgi) O God of the heavens and the Earth, of the astronomical and the subatomic, of the living and the dead, of science and history, of life and love, we give you thanks for the miraculous variety of your creation. We pray for the energy and tine and patience and talent to learn more about the world you have made, and for the humility always to recognize how little we know. Amen. UBI CARITAS (music: Maurice Durufle, 1960; text: Ho! ly Thursday antiphons for Washing of the Feet) LATIN: Ubi caritas et amor Deus ibi est. Congregavit nos in unum Christi amor. Exultemus et in ipso jucundemur. Timeamus et amemus Deum vivum, et ex corde diligamus nos sincero. TRANSLATION: Where there are charity and love, God is there. The love of Christ has bound us together. Let us exult and rejoice in this; let us fear and love the living God, and esteem Him with a sincere heart.
