Taizé Prayer

Stay Here and Keep WatcH

Taizé Prayer is communal mediTaTive Prayer.

Gathered in the presence of Christ,

we sing uncomplicated, repetitive songs,

uncluttered by too many words.

A few words sung over and over again

enhance the meditative quality of prayer,

allowing an encounter with the mystery of God

through the beauty of simplicity.

We invite you to quiet yourself and enter into the melody and text of the music.

PRAYER AROUND THE CROSS

The universal prayer concludes with the recitation of the Lord’s Prayer.

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses

as we forgive those who tresspass against us, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

For thine is the Kingdom, the power, and the glory, now and forever. Amen.

Our prayer around the cross is our way to express our communion with the crucified Christ, but also with all those who suffer.

We entrust our concerns for all those who are suffering to Christ, and we commit ourselves to work toward the salvation of the world.

EXAMINATION OF CONSCIENCE

Do I respect the life and dignity of every human person?

Do I recognize the face of Christ in everyone around me?

Do I work to protect the dignity of others when it is being threatened?

Do I try to make positive contributions in my family and in my community?

Do I recognize and respect the economic, social, political, and cultural rights of others?

Do I assist and defend those whose rights are disrespected?

Do I urge those in power to promote the human dignity and rights of all, especially those most in need?

When possible, do I buy products produced by workers whose rights and dignity were respected?

Does the way I spend my time reflect a genuine concern for others?

Is solidarity incorporated into my prayer and spirituality?

Do I see all members of the human family, near and far as my brothers and sisters?

Do I live out my responsibility to care for God’s creation?

Do I care that poor persons are most at risk from environmental problems?

Do I litter? Live wastefully? Use energy too freely?

Are there ways I could reduce consumption in my life?

Are there ways I could change my daily practices to better conserve the earth’s resources for future generations?

Since we are unable to celebrate the Sacrament of Reconciliation, please join me as together we examine our conscience:

ubi caritaS

The Taizé communiTy Taizé is a tiny village hidden away in the hills of Burgundy, in the eastern part of France not far from the town of Cluny. Since 1940, it has been the home of an ecumenical community of brothers whose prayer, three times each day, is at the center of their life. Today, Taizé is a place to which visitors of all ages and backgrounds come on pilgrimage, to participate in international meetings of prayer and reflection.

Brother Roger first came to the village of Taizé in 1940, at the age of twenty-five. He dreamt of starting a community “on account of Christ and the Gospel,” and he chose to do so in an area, in those years, strongly marked by human distress. It was wartime, and his house became a place of welcome for refugees, especially Jews, fleeing from the Nazi occupation. After living alone for two years he was joined by his first brothers, and in 1949, when there were seven of them, they committed themselves, for life, to celibacy, and to life together. Year after year, other brothers make the same monastic commitments.

At first, the community was made up of brothers from different Protestant denominations. Today it includes many Catholics as well. By its very nature, Taizé is an ecumenical community. It is also international. Its eighty or so brothers come from some twenty different countries throughout the world.

Taizé’s vocation is to strive for communion among all. From its beginnings, the community has worked for reconciliation among Christians split apart into different denominations. But the brothers do not view reconciliation among Christians as the end in itself: it concerns all of humanity, since it makes the Church a place of communion for all.
