IX. Karitas habundat
Love Abounds Beyond the Stars
An antiphon proclaiming that charity rises from the depths, surpasses the stars, and lovingly gives the highest king the kiss of peace.
Antiphon: Love abounds in all things, rising from the depths, most excellent, beyond the stars and most loving in all things, because it gave the highest King the kiss of peace.
Read the original Latin
Antiphona: Karitas habundat in omnia, de imis excellentissima super sidera atque amantissima in omnia, quia summo regi osculum pacis dedit.
