Prayer in the Spirit of Taizé

 

Taizé is an ecumenical (open to all Christians) form of prayer founded in Taizé, France and modeled after its ecumenical Christian monastic community. The purpose of the prayer is to foster reconciliation and peace among all people. The service consists of simple song, scripture, and an extended period of silence for meditation concluding with prayers for the world.

 

 

Taizé is on hiatus but may be offered in Advent 2024 or Lent 2025.

Prayer around the Cross is celebrated during the March In the Spirit of Taizé. Participants are invited to approach the Cross and make a gesture such as placing their foreheads on it, symbolizing the giving over of our burdens to Christ.
