Taizé Prayer is a repetitive prayer set to simple music, interspersed with meditation. Meditation is a form of contemplative prayer in which we move beyond words, thoughts, and images, opening ourselves to God’s mysterious silence within us. There is no teaching or preaching. It is a short chant repeated over and over in the dark. Brother John, a Swiss, initiated this prayer form more than 70 years ago, in the small village commune of Taizé, France. As a community of brothers, they emphasize service, ecumenicalism, and reconciliation between divided faith traditions. Brother John said, “It is a time to rest in God and let the words listened to and sung penetrate one’s being.”

Facilitated by Rochester Franciscan Sisters and Cojourners.
