Taizé is the name of the village where the Brothers of an ecumenical community reside. Since the late ‘50’s, young adults have been gathering on the hillside of this little village, gathering to meet one another, to pray, and to discover how they can be messengers of hope and reconciliation in their own life situations.
Taizé prayer involves the repetition of simple Christian phrases. The experience of singing these phrases nourishes us on a deep non-verbal level. The service consists of quiet chanting, a psalm, and most important, a reading and silence. The prayer provides time for us to speak particular needs of our own and of the world.
