What are you seeking? The first words of Jesus in the Gospel of John are a question to two young people. Last year in Taizé, six young people from six countries across four continents answered Jesus' question: Silence. A direction. Joy. Meaning. A just world. Community. Peace. Br. Matthew, prior of Taizé, responded to them with the Word of God. This season, we bring their insights home to Central Texas. Join us for a preview on August 23.

In each one of us there is a thirst for meaning. Where can we quench this thirst? In our busy lives, somewhere within us there is a quiet voice which whispers that we are loved. Br. Matthew of Taizé
Christ Jesus, in your life on earth, you did not hesitate to denounce injustice, but You sought to build bridges with those you met on Your path. Increase our thirst to bridge the separations which divide people and nations so that justice may flourish on earth. Br. Matthew of Taizé
A new family is born: the community of believers in Jesus, the Church– born not in a human way out of triumph and victory, but out of a love whichis greater than the mute silence of suffering Br. Matthew of Taizé
