Annika Barrett The Story of Brother Roger and the Formation of Taizé What is it about the monastic community in Taizé, France that has inspired international admira- tion, especially among young people? Don’t most people today think of monasteries as archaic and dull, a place for religious extremists who were una- ble to marry? Yet, since its birth in the mid 1900s, Brother Roger at a prayer in Taizé. Taizé has drawn hundreds of thousands of young Photo credit: João Pedro Gonçalves adult pilgrims from all around the world, influenced worship practices on an international scale, and welcomed spiritual giants from Protestant, Catholic, and Eastern Orthodox backgrounds.

  • Twenty Or So Years Ago, I Had the Great Privilege of Being at a Mass in St Peter’S Rome Celebrated by Pope St John Paul II
    Twenty or so years ago, I had the great privilege of being at a mass in St Peter’s Rome celebrated by Pope St John Paul II. Also present on that occasion was the Protestant Brother Roger Schutz, the founder and then prior of the ecumenical monastic community of Taizé. Both now well on in years and ailing in different ways, Pope John Paul and Brother Roger had a well known friendship and it was touching to see the Pope personally give communion to his Protestant friend. This year, the Common Worship feast of the Blessed Virgin Mary, known by most Christians as her Assumption, the Dormition or the Falling Asleep, is also the eve of the fifteenth anniversary of Roger’s horrific, and equally public, murder in his own monastic church, within six months of the death of John Paul himself. I want to suggest three themes that were characteristic both of Mary and Brother Roger and also offer us a sure pathway for our own discipleship: joy, simplicity and mercy. I was led to these by an interview on TV many years ago with Br Alois, Brother Roger’s successor as prior of Taizé, who described how they were at the heart of Brother Roger’s approach to life and guidance of his community. He had written them into the Rule of Taizé, and saw them as a kind of summary of the Beatitudes: [3] "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. [4] "Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.

  • A Taizé Meditative Service
    A Taizé Meditative Service Taizé prayer is the creation of a monastic community in Taizé, France, founded in the 1940s by a Swiss man known as Brother Roger. The brothers there are celibates who emphasize service and ecumenicalism, particularly reconciliation between divided peoples and divided Christians. Taizé was founded in 1940 by Roger Louis Schutz-Marsauche (known as 'Brother Roger'). The 90-year-old monk died in August 2005 after being stabbed during a prayer service. Prayer, silence, and ecumenism are at the heart of the Taizé experience. Young people from every corner of the globe are encouraged to live out the Christian gospel in a spirit of joy, simplicity and reconciliation. For more information about the Taizé Community as well as additional music and prayer guidance, please visit www.Taize.fr. How to get started As we begin, it is important to calm oneself from the outside world, to open yourself to the Holy Spirit and to the presence of Christ. Turn off outside distractions and allow yourself to be fully present to prayer and meditation. We will begin with a couple of songs, followed by a Psalm. Deacon Mike will then read a passage from the Bible, after which there will be a short reflection followed by several minutes of silence, during which imagery from St. Mary’s will be shown on the screen. Following the silence we will sing another meditative song followed by a sung prayer for intercessions. We will conclude with an Our Father, a closing prayer and a couple of closing songs. Introduction Psalm: Psalm 88; “Forever will I sing the mercy of the Lord.” 1.
