Brother Roger of Taizé
May 12, 1915 - August 16, 2005

 



Holy Spirit, you live in every human being
and you come to place in us
these essential realities of the Gospel:
kind-heartedness and forgiveness.
To love and to express it with our life,
to love with kind-heartedness and to forgive:
there you enable us to find
one of the wellsprings of peace and joy.
