What is Taizé Prayer?
Taizé prayer is a quiet simple way of prayer designed for people of all Christian
traditions. These meditative candlelit services include simple chants sung repeatedly;
rich silence; and prayers of praise and intercession.
History of Taizé:
These prayer services emerged from an ecumenical community of monks in Taizé, France.
Brother Roger, Taizé’s founder, arrived in the village of Taize, in 1940. In the
midst of World War II, he dreamed of creating a community where reconciliation was a daily
reality. He began by giving shelter to refugees of the war, especially Jews. Brother Roger
recognized that the search for reconciliation was within the individual as well as within
the community. Initially, the Taizé founder lived alone, until brothers from various
Protestant and Catholic backgrounds followed. Today, as an ecumenical monastic community,
Taizé is a sign of reconciliation. People from around the world, especially young people,
come to Taizé looking for meaning in their lives as they prepare for responsibilities in
their own communities.
