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, and opens us to God’s mysterious silence within us. There is no teaching or preaching. It is a series of short chants repeated over and over in low light. Brother John of Taizé says, “It is a time to rest in God and let the words listened to and sung penetrate one’s being.”

John, a Swiss Brother, initiated this prayer form more than 70 years ago, in the small village of Taizé. As a community of brothers, they emphasize service, ecumenicalism and reconciliation between divided faith traditions.

Facilitated by Rochester Franciscan Sisters and Cojourners. Bruce Rohde, Cojourner will be the accompanist for this ritual.
