At Sacred Heart Cathedral,
Taizé prayer consists of song, scripture, and quiet meditation. The lighting
in the Cathedral is dimmed; a large wooden cross is placed at the base of
the altar surrounded by candles. Taizé
is an opportunity for all
gathered to prepare for the Advent Season.
It
is in the spirit of Taizé
and through a blend of ritual, reverence
and simplicity...
In the midst of community...
Presented within the sacredness of
the Cathedral...
This deep, prayerful experience allows all gathered
the opportunity to prepare for Advent.
It is in this quiet spirit of Taizé
that we gather at 7:00pm
in the Cathedral on Mondays...
during Lent.

Taizé Prayer emerged from an ecumenical
community of monks in Taizé, France. Brother Roger, Taizé’s founder,
arrived in the village of Taizé in 1940. In the midst of World War
II, he dreamed of creating a community where reconciliation was a
daily reality. Brother Roger recognized that the search for
reconciliation was within each individual as well as within the
community.
