Singing is one of the most essential elements of Taizé worship. Short songs, repeated again and again, give it a meditative character. As the words are sung over many times, this reality gradually penetrates the whole being. Meditative singing thus becomes a way of listening to God. Silence
Silence makes us ready for a new meeting with God. In silence, God’s word can reach the hidden corners of our hearts. To learn more about the Taizé service and the Taizé community, please visit: http://www.taize.fr/en
