Letter from Brother John

Dear Friends,

For over thirty years now, the Taizé Community, an ecumenical Christian monastic community located in Burgundy, France, has been animating a “pilgrimage of trust on earth.” This pilgrimage brings together people, mostly young adults, from different countries, backgrounds and denominations to reflect together on the roots of our faith and commitment, and to look for ways of taking on responsibilities to make our world a better place for all. Many of the gatherings are held in our community in France, but others bring together people in other parts of the world. In 2008 meetings were held in Nairobi and Brussels, and in 2009 meetings are planned among other places in Lithuania, Spain, Germany and Poland. I am happy to join you in February 2009 in Baltimore for a stop on this pilgrimage, sponsored by some of the churches of the city. I hope it will help us all to draw more energy from our faith and feel more connected to others who are walking along the same path in a great diversity of commitments.

                                                                                                Brother John, Taizé

Blessing of Most Reverend Edwin F. O’Brien, Archbishop of Baltimore on the participants of the Pilgrimage of Trust

 Prayer
——————————————–
Christ Jesus, within us there is a silent longing. And when our inner
being becomes dispersed, our thirsty heart dares to say: enable me to live from you, O Christ; gather up my desire and my thirst.

“The exchange with God becomes real for us in prayer: by his Holy Spirit, God comes to dwell within us. By his word and by the sacraments, Christ gives himself to us. In return, we can surrender everything to him.”

Brother Alois, Letter from Cochabamba
