“We can do no great things, only small things with great love.” —Blessed Teresa of Calcutta With Great Love is a moving collection of songs that speak of God's love at work in us. These songs are fashioned for use throughout the liturgical year, enriching everything from the most intimate of prayer services to the most majestic of Christmas liturgies. The title track, “With Great Love,” is a beautiful message based on the writings of Blessed Teresa. It is a gentle call to action that is easily learned, enabling quick and active participation. Many of the tracks combine Latin with English lyrics. Moved by the simplicity and pure beauty of plainchant, de Silva weaves both languages seamlessly in a fusion of ageless text and contemporary melody, effectively preserving our traditions while presenting them in a modern, singable setting. Another notable inclusion, “God Will Lead Us Home,” contains a beautiful choral interlude on in paradisum that suspends the passing of time. There is a place in your library, your liturgies, and your hearts for every song in this collection. Contents: With Great Love • Enter God's Kingdom • Lord, Let Us See Your Kindness • Come, Lord Jesus • Magnificat • That Holy Night • There Is Room for the Stranger • Ubi Caritas • Sustained by Faith • Broken for the Broken • Litany of Thanksgiving • God Is Near • God Will Lead Us Home • Peace Blessing / Dona Nobis Pacem.
