Holy Eucharist in the Style of Taize

A Place to Meet God Through a blend of ritual, reverence, and simplicity... In the midst of community... In prayer for healing and wholeness for oneself, for others, and for the world... And to be renewed This Taizé style of prayer is both meditative and easily accessible to all people. It is a quiet service of meditation, reflection, readings and music. The experience finds its true meaning in the active participation of all assembled by focusing and deepening our faith through the power of prayer. Therefore, everyone is encouraged to participate as the Spirit moves them, whether that be in song, prayer, or quiet meditation. Much of our modern personal need is for entertainment. We have “busy” souls. The liturgy that has developed around the Taizé’ community is primarily for the worship of God, but it is also to quiet the soul. This quietness does not happen at once, but gradually during the worship. There is repetition in the words of the music, there are many periods of silence, and the readings are read slowly – all so that we may have a deep quiet grow in our hearts. Then we may be still and be at peace in the presence of God.
