What is Taizé Prayer?

Singing is one of the most important forms of prayer. A few words sung over and over again to instrumental accompaniment reinforce the meditive quality of the prayer. They expresss a basic reality of faith that can quickly be grasped by the intellect and gradually penetrate the heart and the whole being.

Taizé is an ecumenical community in France whose members live out the gospel through reconciliation. Their form of prayer introduces people to meditative prayer with simple melodies woven in succession into a kind of tapestry of continuous prayer. The underlying aim is to enter together into the mystery of Gods' presence.
