Life From Within: Prayers by Brother Roger of Taize

Westminster/John Knox Press

Taize began in great solitude. Between 1940 and 1942, Brother Roger, on his own and still young, was hiding political refugees while preparing the creation of a monastic community. Fifty years later, the name of Taize is known across the world, and is a synonym for peace, reconciliation and prayer. Week in, week out, thousands of young people go to that small village in Burgundy on pilgrimage. This small book contains what is perhaps the secret of this extraordinary adventure of faith. Christ's love makes those who give their lives to him more human; he makes them welcoming towards everyone. These pages are  a kind of personal letter addressed to each reader. As he indicates the essential elements of a life rooted in trust in God. Taize's founder looks for the expression that goes right to the heart of the person he is speaking to. There is not a word in this book that he has not first tested in his own life. Yet he is constantly pursued by one question: 'Have I managed to express clearly enough that God is love alone, never punishes, does not wish anyone to suffer, and loves every single human being without exception?" The book is completely by the text of the address to the brothers by John Paul II during his visit to Taize in October 1986 and a short historical sketch of Taize.

The Rule of Taize was written by Brother Roger, its founder, during the winter of 1952-3. His intention was to express for the young men who had committed themselves to the group 'for their whole life in celibacy and to a life together in great simplicity', 'the essential that makes the common life possible'. The community has since become one of the world's most important sites of Christian pilgrimage. Over 100,000 young people from around the world travel there each year for prayer, Bible study, sharing, and communal work. Through the community's ecumenical outlook, they are encouraged to live in the spirit of kindness, simplicity and reconciliation. This is an updated version of the English-French edition first published in 1968.

SPCK Publishing

Taize is an ecumenical community which has become world famous for the peace, love and reconciliation it preaches and practises. Brother Roger, who started this community 60 years before this volume's publication, speaks of the faith that has always guided and encouraged him and the community as it has developed over the years. He includes a brief history of Taize and covers Pope John Paul II's speech on his visit to Taize in 1986. The book is like a personal letter to the reader; it seeks to offer words to encourage, challenge and lead each of us.
