Reflection

Yesterday the church honoured Brother Roger Schutz who began a community of brothers in the French village of Taize. His dream was love and harmony between Christians. Since 1959, millions of young people from all over the world have made their way to Taize to share in the life of the community.

Brother Roger was murdered on the 16th of August in 2005 while praying with many people in his church. He is remembered for his great desire for peace and for the unity of all Christian churches.

Prayer 

Faithful God, by sending your Son

you kept the promise you made to your chosen people.

Open our hearts and our minds

to his message of salvation,

and help us to share the good news

every day of our lives.

We ask this through Christ our Lord.

Amen.
