TAIZE Prayer

Taize is a tiny village in eastern France where young people come on pilgrimage to build community and participate in prayer and reflection. Taize prayer is a gathering of people with a common goal: to encounter oneself and God in prayer through songs and meditation.  It could be likened to an Upper Room experience when God appeared to His disciples.  It is an experience of peaceful communion with God in silence.  It is “a gathering of a common voice… to proclaim and respond to the Word of God”.
