A brother of the community recently went to Albania. This ten day journey was a chance to visit groups of young people who had come together for a weekend of prayer and meeting, in November 2007, in the capital, Tirana. Visits from abroad are rare in this country which remained very isolated, until the end of the 1980s, under a very hard communist regime, where all religious practice was completely forbidden. As a result, the visitor is welcomed more warmly and often hears the question: “How do you like our country? What do you think of (...) Brother Alois and other brothers of Taizé were in Vienna, Austria, in March 2011 for an evening prayer and a youth meeting, as part of the pilgrimage of trust. The links between the Taizé Community and the people of Vienna go back a long way. Well before the European meetings in 1992 and 1997, there were regular prayers in the city. Brother Roger himself went on various (...) 12 October 2014 In September 2014, a brother of Taizé visited Belarus, after the summer meetings at Taizé in which several groups from that country took part and before the meetings in Riga and Prague. In this account of his travel, he shares some experiences lived out during his visit, with the "Proposals 2014" from Brother Alois as guidelines. Christ extended his friendship to all, without rejecting anyone. Those who love Christ all across the earth form, in his steps, a large community of friendship. This is called communion. Proposals 2014, introduction (...) 23 November 2016 This fall, a brother spent a week in Belarus, to visit the Christian communities and meet the young people preparing to participate in the Riga meeting at the end of the year. In spring 2015, Brother Alois and four other brothers spent two days in Minsk between the pilgrimages in Russia and Ukraine. The links are ancient between Taizé and the Churches of Belarus. Many young people came to the (...) Five months after the meeting that Taizé brothers led last year in Sarajevo, on the invitation of Cardinal Puljic and Orthodox Metropolitan Nicolaj, one of the brothers has been back in the region recently.“The first stage of the journey was a day spent in a village in the North East of Serbia, near the frontier with Romania. The people there speak Slovak and most of them are Lutherans. The pastor, who knows Taizé well and who took part in the meeting in Sarajevo, invited the young people and the less young to take part in the prayers and (...) 15 November 2010 At the end of October two of the brothers visited Bulgaria. It was the first visit for 4 years and it really did feel like we were being welcomed as long lost friends. We were very much expected – only an hour after arriving in Sofia we were already being interviewed by two TV news reporters! We met friends of the community that we’ve known for many years and also many people that were hearing of the community for the first time. In the 1990s a lot of Bulgarians came to Taizé and to the European meetings but for the last few years there have (...) 28 February 2011 One of the brothers has visited Croatia on a number of occasions. He reflects here on these visits, the most recent of which took place in February 2011. In 2006, the European young adults meeting was held in the Croatian capital ZagrebOnce again the young people from Croatia were astonishingly numerous at the European meeting at Rotterdam. In order to take part in such a gathering, they do not wait for someone else to organise the journey for them. In the parishes, in the schools, between friends, they talk about it, they set up (...) 27 January 2013 ... a good lesson of trust for making commitments Five years ago in Zlin, three years ago in Brno and last year in Olomouc, some young people prepared a meeting called “Dny důvěry” (Days of Trust). Those week-ends were gatherings of young adults between 17 and 35 years old from all over the Czech Republic. All the participants were welcomed by families of the different parishes and the local (...) What do you know about Denmark? Butter and bacon come from there! Do you know any famous Danes? Hans Christian Andersen and Kierkegaard where writers who lived there! Geographical position? It’s squeezed between two big neighbours, Sweden and Germany. History? Didn’t they used to be Vikings? Something in the news? Wasn’t there some controversy about freedom of speech and a caricature in a newspaper? And the church in Denmark? In general, Danes are not very religious (at least on the outside), and church attendance is very low! It was with questions like (...) Prayer house in Nurste At the beginnings of the 1990s, young Estonians came in thousands to the European meetings and to Taizé. At the time of independence, there was a great interest for faith. The situation has changed since then, but it is as if people are once again starting to realise that "although communication is becoming easier and easier, our human societies remain compartmentalized (...) 15 May Hamina, a city of Eastern Finland, close to the border with Russia, invites young people from August 25 -27 2017 for a stage of the “pilgrimage of trust on earth”. By its history and location, Hamina has always been a place where peace building was important. In 1809, the Peace Treaty of Hamina ended conflict between Russia and Sweden, fought out on Finnish soil, enabling the revival of (...) In July 2012 the first Taizé song in the Finnish language was published. It is a concrete sign of the 50-year-long friendship between the Taizé brothers and the people of Finland. How did the friendship start? It started with meetings between people, first through writings. In the early 1960s Elisabeth de Godzinsky, who lived in Helsinki, Finland, read articles by Brother Roger in French Christian magazines. She was touched. The words about reconciliation were important for her, personally as well as socially. On a trip to France she had the (...) 16 October 2012 28-30 September 2012 What is a “Nordic Taizé meeting”? It really is something that is quite hard to describe! There is no theme or slogan written up above the door: only ’tervetuloa’, ’välkommen’, ’Bures boahtin’, ’Hau kola’, ’welcome’. Is praying with songs and silence really enough to bring people together? One of the brothers has described Taizé meetings as ’controlled natural (...) At the beginning of March, following a visit to the World Council of Churches in Geneva, with brothers and young people, and before going on to Rome, Brother Alois, accompanied by two other brothers, made a stop in Cologne. Brothers had already prayed in Saint Agnes Church during the 2005 WYD and during the 2006 “Kirchentag” (meeting of the German Protestant Churches). Each year many young (...) 3 November 2016 During the holiday of All Saints, more than five thousand French young people passed through Taizé in three successive waves. Among others, they met young Germans, Belgians, Dutch, Danish or Spanish, who were also on a pilgrimage on the hill, as well as young refugees hosted by the community for a year and an Iraqi family. Ahmed, a young Sudanese, 23, and Nemat, a young Afghan, 25, prepared (...) In May 2009, one of the brothers made a series of visits in Greece. On his return to Taizé, he wrote:In a rural area in the North of the country, the parish priests attend continuing education classes. They are between thirty and sixty years old. Since it is already hot at 3 o’clock on a May afternoon, the liturgy class – led by a professor from Thessalonica who is much younger than most of his students - has been moved out from the classroom to the arbour in front of the school, with a view over snow capped Mount Olympus. The visit of a (...) A young woman from Portugal who was in Taizé as a volunteer for several months, Sara Sofia, is now working on the island of Lesbos in a refugee camp. At the time when Pope Francis, Patriarch Bartholomew and the Archbishop of Athens, Hieronymos, are going to the island to meet with the refugees, we are publishing her account of her experiences. “I volunteer at a refugee camp in Lesbos, Greece. Celine, a young woman from Montpellier, was at the European Meeting in Valencia and spoke there about her human and faith experience as a young nurse in India, Tanzania and in the Calais refugee camp. After the European meeting, she boarded a lifeboat of the Mediterranean SOS Association, Aquarius, where she joined a team of Doctors of the World. She came back to France in May, and she hopes (...) 23 September 2015 Ferenc, the father of a family who have lived in Taizé for several years to help welcome the young adults, went to meet refugees arriving by the tens of thousands in Hungary. Being himself Hungarian, he is preparing three young volunteers from Taizé to live a few weeks as a “Small Provisional Community”. He writes: photo: Kristóf Hölvényi We arrived around noon with Kristóf, a young photographer (...) 9 November 2009 From 22nd - 25th October, a meeting brought together several thousand young adults in Pécs, South Western Hungary. Young people from across Hungary as well as from the neighbouring countries and even further afield came to spend 3 days celebrating being together in prayer and reflection. Building a Meeting A baroque town hall, an imposing neo-romanesque Cathedral and (...) 10 October 2011 One of the brothers of the community was in Ireland in September-October 2011. He shares some of his impressions. Over the space of ten days my trip to Ireland took me to four corners of the island, beginning in Dublin, then with stops west, in Ennis, south, in Cork and New Ross and finally north, in and around Belfast. Each evening a meeting and prayer brought together people from the surrounding area. In a number of these places, prayers with Taizé songs are held on a regular basis. The days were spent speaking with young people in schools (...) As part of the 50th International Eucharistic Congress, held in Dublin from 10-17 June 2012, Bro. Alois was invited to give the main catechesis on Monday. With the support of young people from Dublin, he led prayer that same evening in the Youth Space of the Congress. Here is the text of the catechesis, entitled "A Passion for the Unity of the Body of Christ": 6 April 2011 In 1978, Brother Roger went with a group of young brothers to Bari, a city in southern Italy, to spend time in a poor neighborhood in the center of the city. The brothers prayed three times a day in the old church of the neighborhood, worked with the residents and offered hospitality for a simple evening meal and a time of sharing. After they left, some local youth decided to continue the daily prayer, doing all they could to revive the local community. In March this year, two brothers of the community went to the region of Bari for (...) 8 November 2012 Two volunteers from Taizé were in Mantova during May 2012. A few weeks later the region was struck by several earthquakes. Frederik (The Netherlands) and Davide (Italy) went back to visit the inhabitants of the Mantova region again in September. They were there to take part in a national meeting with two brothers of the community and young people who had come from various regions of Italy, and (...) 1 October 2014 From 26 to 28 September 2014, a gathering led by the Taizé Community was held in Riga, the capital of Latvia. For several years, the Lutheran and Catholic archbishops had extended an invitation. It was during the Strasbourg meeting that the news was confirmed by Brother Alois: an upcoming stage in the pilgrimage of trust on earth would take place in Latvia five years after the meeting in (...) 8 March 2012 One of the brothers describes a recent visit he made in Latvia. There doesn’t seem to be much good news coming out of Latvia at the moment. When the country appears in the news, the talk is always of economic problems or political turmoil. But is that the whole picture? Don’t we sometimes fall prey to pessimism? What are the signs of "New Solidarity" that exist already? With temperatures around -30C, I travelled to the eastern province of Latgale. A group of young people together with their pastor from the small town of Ilūkste has visited (...) A future of peace is possible From May 1-3, 2009, 8 000 young people attended the meeting organized in the capital of Lithuania by the Community of Taizé in collaboration with the youth centre of the archdiocese. More than three years ago, the brothers had been invited to hold a stage in the pilgrimage of trust on earth there, at the initiative of Cardinal Backis. In his words of welcome, he stressed: “I think that jubilant Vilnius, thanks to you and your presence, will show its hospitality.” And indeed, the welcome of a whole city exceeded (...) 5 March 2010 For the first time for several years, a Taizé brother has visited Christians on the islands of Malta and Gozo. Here is an account of his journey. The Christian identity of this very religious people is closely linked to an event mentioned in the Book of Acts (28. 1-10): the Apostle Paul is shipwrecked at Malta on his way to Rome, as a prisoner. Today the island knows other people who are shipwrecked! And in a certain way, they too are prisoners. Thousands of refugees from the south of the Sahara arrive in Malta, escaping from the misery of (...) One of the brothers recently spent a week visiting the Republic of Moldova. There are some countries that you hear about all the time. There are others you just hear about when there is a problem. And then there are places that seem to be almost invisible, that a lot of people don’t even realise exist: “Moldova – isn’t that where Tintin went to find King Ottakar’s sceptre? Is it a real (...) Young people aged between 15 and 35 were particularly invited to take part in this meeting in the Bjørgvin Diocese, and they were the majority of the weekend’s participants, together with one of the brothers and two volunteers from Taizé. In the days before the meeting, they visited schools and churches, as well as taking part in all sorts of meetings, speaking about life at Taizé. The ecumenical committee for the meeting, made up of both Protestants and Catholics, has helped strengthen the community in various parishes in the Bergen area. 30 September 2010 At the invitation of the Norges Kristne Råd, the “Christian Council of Norway”, a stage of the pilgrimage of trust on earth is being held in Norway this weekend, from Friday 17 to Sunday 19 September 2010. Sigrid is from Denmark and was in Norway to take part in the meeting. Helene, from Oslo, was in Trondheim for the meeting. Friday evening I arrived in Oslo early (...) 22 February During the Palm Sunday weekend a Taizé meeting will be held in Brussels. At the invitation of Cardinal de Kesel, Archbishop of Malines-Bruxelles, brothers from Taizé and young people from Belgium, the Netherlands, France, Germany and Luxembourg will meet for a weekend of meeting and prayer. Brother Alois will be there on Saturday evening. On the site dedicated to the event we read: Along with (...) 5 November 2014 A meeting - the “Days of Communion” - took place in Katowice-Koszutka during the weekend of 10-12 October and gathered young Poles running the preparation points for this year’s European meeting. The Oblate parish hosted about 80 young people from different regions of Poland. As some local people also took part, the overall number of participants was around 100. The young people in Katowice were accompanied by the words form the letter by brother Alois “Searching for the visible communion among all who love Christ.” They took part in (...) Brothers of the Taizé Community will be at World Youth Day in Kraków in July 2016. Brother Alois will be there from July 26-31. From Monday 25 to Friday 29 July, times of prayer with the songs of Taizé will be led by the brothers in Kraków, in the St. Szczepan Church, ul. Henryka Sienkiewicza, 19. Here is the detailed schedule day by day: Monday 25: 18:30, 20:00 Tuesday 26: 10:00, 12:00, 14:00 (...) 25 February 2011 On the evening of 19 February 2011, the largest church in Porto was not big enough to contain all those who came together to celebrate the first anniversary of the pilgrimage of trust « to the wellsprings of joy”. In all, some 1500 people : hundreds of young adults, but also families who had welcomed the young pilgrims a year ago, and representatives of the Catholic Church, the Methodist Church, and the Old Catholic Church. A Taizé brother, from Chile, took part. Broadcast on internet, by means of a webcam, the prayer was followed by a (...) In May 2008 Brother Alois, accompanied by another brother of the community, visited Romania, at the invitation of the leaders of the churches. Every summer since the end of the communist regime, thousands of young people from Romania have been to spend a week in Taizé or to the European Meetings. The fact that so many young people come from a predominantly Orthodox country brings a special richness to the gatherings in Taizé. The Romanians are the only Orthodox who speak a romance language. They feel they have a responsibility to be a (...) Beween 8 and 19 April, Brother Alois and four other brothers spent time visiting Russia, Belarus and Ukraine. Here are a few echoes from the pilgrimage in Moscow shared with a hundred young people from all over Europe and further afield. We will shortly be publishing further reflections on the time the brothers spent in Minsk and the pilgrimage to Kiev and Lviv, with testimonies from some of (...) Since the two pilgrimages in 2011 and 2015 with youth to Moscow during Holy Week and Easter, links with Orthodox parishes in the city have continued and deepened. Recently a brother returned to Moscow and also visited St Petersburg. In central parishes of the two cities, a day was held on successive weekends for young Russians beginning with the Divine Liturgy, then a Bible study and small (...) From 28 April to 1 May 2012, an international meeting for young adults was held in the Slovenian capital. This new stage of the pilgrimage of trust on earth enabled young people from numerous countries to experience Slovenian hospitality and to deepen their faith. On the banks of the Ljubljanica, the first real days of spring gave a fine impression of serenity to the pedestrian city centre. As in a mosaic, each of the participants, volunteers, and Christians of the city contributed their touch of colour and the diversity of countries, (...) The meeting in Seville took place from 8 to 10 May 2009 and brought together over 2000 young adults of whom several hundred came from Portugal. Some of those who took part, including Ignacio from Seville and Marta from Portugal, share some of their experiences." Living the unexpected" “Many of us had dreamed for a long time of having a meeting led by Taizé in Andalusia. In the second half of April, two of the long-term volunteers in Taizé, Richard from Bangladesh and Merric from Australia, travelled throughout Sweden. Here is the story of their journey. From the 18th of April we began a two week visit to Sweden to visit churches, schools and share in prayer together with the youth of this beautiful and diverse country. Not knowing what to expect, we arrived (...) 5 October 2016 On October 30, the evening before the Joint Ecumenical Gathering with Pope Francis “Together in Hope”, which will be held in Lund Domkyrka on October 31, Brother Alois will take part in an evening prayer at Klosterkyrkan in Lund. The prayer will begin at 20.00, but will be preceded by a song practice beginning at 19.30. This time of worship and thanksgiving is open especially to young adults (...) 6 October 2011 Regular prayers with songs from Taizé take place in Istanbul on the second Tuesday of each month (from September to June). Beginning in October 2015 they will be held, from 8pm to 9pm, at the Church of Sen Piyer ve Paul (Dominican brothers), BEREKETZADE MAHALLESI - BEYOĞLU - Kuledibi, Galata Kulesi sok. “Towards a new solidarity” A brother of the Community was in Edinburgh for the weekend on the theme of the 2015 anniversaries at Taizé. 300 people gathered in Old St Paul’s Church in the city-centre for the evening prayer which was the main event of the weekend in Edinburgh. Participants had come from all over Scotland, including the islands of Tiree and Arran. Seventeen of the members of the (...) 13 October 2014 After joining the “small provisional community” in Kiev, a brother continued his stay in Ukraine by visits to several cities. Time of prayer, meetings with youth, visits to two universities and a seminar, conversations with bishops: the program was varied, especially in order to understand the situation of the country better and to encourage young people attending the meetings in Taizé, Strasbourg and soon in Prague. What was particularly important was visiting Christians of all denominations. This desire for dialogue with all marked deeply (...) In April 2015, a stage of the pilgrimage of trust took place in Ukraine. After the Easter celebrations in Moscow and two days spent in Minsk, Brother Alois and four brothers of the community arrived in Kiev together with young people from different cities in Ukraine and from all over Europe. These visits were particularly marked by the suffering caused by the war in the east, but also by the (...)

12. siječnja Brat Alois je u petak, 30. prosinca, u glavnom gradu Latvije, Rigi,na 39. Europskom susretu sa više od 15 000 okupljenih sudionika, objavio sljedeću postaju »Hodočašća povjerenja na zemlji«.[Tijekom večernje molitve- art21135] brat Alois je na početku govorio o međunarodnim tjednim susretima mladih u Taizéu, koji će se nastaviti i u 2017. godini.

Na poziv kardinala Vinka Puljića i mitropolita Nikolaja, brat Alois i braća iz Taizéa održali su susret koji je okupio nekoliko stotina mladih iz različitih zemalja Europe.Dašak Taizéa donijeli su već prvi mladi koji su dan-dva prije susreta došli pomoći, toliko različitih jezika, a tako se (...) Ruth iz Njemačke sudjelovala je na susretu u Sarajevu. Ovo je njezin osvrt. Sarajevo – grad kojega knjige i filmovi predstavljaju kao razorenoga etničkim različitostima, bombardiranoga, traumatiziranoga, okupiranoga.No, grad dokazuje da je puno drugačiji od tih prikaza; to sam osjetila već kada mu se moj avion približavao: meka zelena polja okružuju mjesto koje se čini ispunjeno svjetlom na ovaj (...) Pet mjeseci nakon susreta koji su braća iz Taizéa održala prošle godine u Sarajevu, na poziv kardinala Puljića i pravoslavnog metropolita Nikolaja, jedan od braće nedavno je ponovo bio u toj regiji.“Prva postaja putovanja bila je dan u selu na sjeveroistoku Srbije, blizu granice s Rumunjskom. Stanovnici ondje pričaju slovački i većina njih su luterani. Pastor, koji dobro poznaje Taizé i koji je bio na susretu u Sarajevu, pozvao je mlade i one manje mlade da sudjeluju u molitvi i razmjeni. Mladi iz okolnih regija su se pridružili.

U globalnom turističkom svijetu poznat je kao mondeno ljetovalište sa dugom tradicijom, te je ljeti prepun turista, jahti i žamora raznih jezika i kultura.

Najčešće ne očekuju da im netko drugi pripremi putovanje, sami se organiziraju: u župama, školama, na faksu te među prijateljima širi se informacija, organiziraju pripremni susreti i traži najpovoljnijeg autobusnog prijevoznika… Svaki put kad ih posjećujem u toj krasnoj zemlji između Panonske ravnice i Jadranskog mora, (...) 24. listopada 2014 Jedan od braće posjetio je Bjelorusiju u rujnu 2014. u sklopu ljetnih susreta u Taizéu koji su okupili nekoliko grupa iz zemlje, prethodeći susretima u Rigi i Pragu. U zapisu sa tog putovanja, brat je podijelio neka od svojih iskustava vodeći se »Prijedlozima 2014« brata Alojza.Krist je svoje prijateljstvo darovao svakome, ne odbijajući pritom nikoga. Oni koji ljube Krista širom cijelog svijeta, koračaju Njegovim stopama i čine veliku zajednicu prijateljstva. Nju nazivamo zajedništvom. Prijedlozi 2014., uvodni dio Od našeg zadnjeg posjeta (...) 20. listopada 2011 Odgovarajući na pozive iz luteranske, pravoslavne i katoličke Crkve, dvojica braće bila su u Finskoj u drugoj polovici rujna 2011. Kako je 73,9% Finske pokriveno šumom, nije teško zamisliti da ljudi imaju uzrečicu sličnu onoj: «Ne vidjeti šumu od drveća». Na finskom se kaže: «Ei näe metsää puilta» i znači moći vidjeti samo dijelove, a ne cjelinu. To je svakako bila istina kada su dva (...) 17. travnja 2006 Most u Esztergomu, koji povezuje suprotne obale Dunava. Dunav označava granicu između Slovačke i Mađarske. Most izgleda kao da se tamo nalazi stoljećima, ali povijest je mnogo složenija… Od 24. do 26. ožujka 2006., drevni grad Esztergom bio je domaćin jedne etape «hodočašća povjerenja». U petak poslijepodne, središnji autobusni kolodvor bio je življi nego obično. Mnogo mladih s putnim torbana prelazilo je most preko Dunava. Nekoliko stotina mladih iz cijele Mađarske i Slovačke, zajedno s nekima iz Rumunjske, Srbije, Ukrajine, Austrije i Njemačke stiglo (...) U svibnju 2009. jedan je od braće obavio niz posjeta u Grčkoj. Nakon povratka u Taize, napisao je:«U ruralnom području na sjeveru zemlje, neki župnici pohađaju program doškolovanja. Stari su između trideset i šezdeset godina. Budući da je u 15 sati u svibnju već vruće, predavanje o liturgiji – koji vodi profesor iz Soluna koji je puno mlađi od većine svojih studenata – preseljen je iz učionice do stabala ispred škole, s pogledom na snijegom prekriveni vrh Olimpa. Posjet jednog kršćanina sa Zapada prilika je za razmjenu: razgovarali smo o molitvenom životu u (...) 29. veljače 2016 Hodočašće povjerenja doći će u Latviju U Valenciji je 30. prosinca 2015. brat Alois objavio: Od 28. prosinca 2016. do 1. siječnja 2017. godine održat će se 39. Europski susret. Sastat ćemo se na drugom kraju Europe. Ovih dana smo na jugu, a tada ćemo ići na sjever. Ovih dana smo na obalama Mediterana, iduće godine ići ćemo na obale Baltika, u zemlju u kojoj nikada nije još bio Europski susret, Latviju, u (...) Ferenc, otac obitelji koja je nekoliko godina živjela u Taizéu i pomagala oko prijema odraslih, otišao se susresti s desecima tisuća izbjeglica koji pristižu u Mađarsku. Ferenc je Mađar i priprema tri mlada volontera iz Taizéa koji bi živjeli tamo nekoliko tjedana kao »Mala privremena zajednica«.

U vrijeme posjeta pape Franje otoku, zajedno s patrijarhom Bartolomejem te nadbiskupom Atene, Hieronymosom, kako bi se susreli s izbjeglicama ondje, objavljujemo dio njezinog iskustva. Volontiram u izbjegličkom kampu na Lesbosu, u Grčkoj. Moj glavni (...) 8. lipnja 2016 Céline iz Montpelliera prisustvovala je susretu u Valenciji i svjedočila o svojemu iskustvu kao mlada medicinska sestra u Indiji, Tanzaniji te u izbjegličkom kampu u Calaisu. Nakon Europskog susreta, ukrcala se na spašavalačku brodicu »Aquarius« s ekipom »Liječnika svijeta«. Vrativši se u Francusku u svibnju, nada se sudjelovati tjednu namijenjenom posebice mladima od 18 do 35 godina, koji će se (...) 20. siječnja 2016 Za vrijeme korizme, od 11. veljače do 19. ožujka 2016., povodom Svete godine milosrđa, braća zajednice pripremat će u Rimu redovite molitve s pjesmama iz Taizéa. Molitve će se održavati od ponedjeljka do subote u 12 h te u 17 h, u crkvi San Giovanni Battista de’Fiorentini (Piazza dell’Oro 1, autobus br. 64, postaja, ponte Vitorrio Emanuele II). To je jedna od tri crkve koje su organizatori Svete godine (...) 6. listopada 2014 Zajednica iz Taizéa predvodila je od 26.do 28.rujna 2014., susret u Rigi, glavnom gradu Latvije. Tijekom zadnjih nekoliko godina luteranski i katolički nadbiskupi proširili su pozive na susret. Naime, za vrijeme susreta u Strasbourgu, brat Alois je potvrdio novosti: slijedeća postaja Hodočašća povjerenja na Zemlji održati će se u Latviji, pet godina od susreta u Vilniusu, u susjednoj Litvi. Jedan od braće opisuje nedavni posjet Latviji:Ne čini se da puno dobrih vijesti dolazi iz Latvije trenutno. Kad se ova zemlja pojavljuje u vijestima, uvijek se govori o gospodarskim problemima i političkim previranjima. No, je li to cjelovita slika? Ne upadamo li ponekad u stupicu pesimizma? Koji su znakovi «nove solidarnosti» koji već postoje? Uz temperature oko -30°C, otputovao sam u istočnu provinciju Latgale. Grupa mladih ljudi iz gradića Ilūkste, zajedno sa svojim župnikom posjetila je Taizé posljednja dva ljeta. S temperaturom koja je tijekom (...) 7. svibnja 2009 Tri dana radosnog pomirenja Od 1. do 3. svibnja 2009. osam tisuća mladih sudjelovalo je na susretu koji je Zajednica iz Taizéa u suradnji s Nadbiskupskim povjerenstvom za pastoral mladih organizirala u glavnom gradu Litve. Prije više od tri godine kardinal Backis pozvao je braću da ovdje održe jednu postaju Hodočašća pomirenja. U pozdravnoj riječi istaknuo je: «Vjerujem da će slavljenički Vilnius, zahvaljujući vama i vašoj prisutnosti, pokazati svoju gostoljubivost!» Zaista je dobrodošlica cijelog grada nadmašila sva očekivanja. 29. svibnja 2016 Jedan od braće ove je godine proveo tjedan u posjetu Republici Moldaviji. O nekim zemljama slušamo uvijek. O drugima čujemo samo kada postoji problem. A neka mjesta se čine skoro nevidljiva, toliko da mnogi ne znaju ni da ta mjesta doista postoje: »Moldavija – nije li tamo Tintin pošao pronaći žezlo kralja Otakara? Zar je to stvarna zemlja?« To je samo po sebi bio dovoljno dobar razlog za posjet, (...) Na poziv Norges Kristine Rada, «Kršćanskog sabora Norveške» postaja Hodočašća povjerenja na zemlji održana je u Norveškoj ovog vikenda, od 17. do 19. rujna 2010. Sigrid iz Danske sudjelovala je na susretu u Norveškoj. Petak navečer Stigla sam u Oslo rano jutros kako bih sudjelovala na Taize susretu koji je počeo danas popodne. Kakav je to bio dan! U jutro je velika skupina (...) Braća iz Zajednice Taizé prisustvovat će Svjetskom danu mladih u Krakovu, u srpnju 2016. Brat Alois će biti ondje od 26. do 31. srpnja.Od ponedjeljka 25. do petka 29. srpnja, vrijeme za molitvu s pjesmama iz Taizéa bit će vođene braćom u Krakovu, u crkvi Svetog Stjepana, ul.

Ovaj susret je zamišljen prije svega za ljude koji vode pripremne točke za Europski susret u Berlinu kako bi se, kroz zajedničku molitvu i razmišljanje, mogli pripremiti za predstojeći rad. U petak, jedan od braće iz Taizéa koji je posjetio Krakow, susreo se s (...) 17. travnja 2010 Braća su u ožujku bila u Rusiji. Ovdje jedan od njih s nama dijeli svoje dojmove o posjetu:Dolazak u Rusiju u vrijeme korizme prvi puta nakon nekoliko godina donio je mnoga iznenađenja. U skoro svakom kafiću i restoranu, od najjednostavnijeg do najsofisticiranijeg, nude «Korizmeni jelovnik». U pravoslavnoj tradiciji korizmeni je post veoma važan. Dostupnost takvih jelovnika pokazuje kako su vjerske pitanja postala dio javnog života. No, prve je nedjelje našeg boravka, pastoralno pismo patrijarha Kirila koje je tijekom bogoslužja pročitano u svim (...) 20. travnja 2012 Na poziv Biskupske konferencije Slovenije susret mladih održat će se u Ljubljani, od 28. travnja do 1. svibnja 2012. Susret je dio «Hodočašća povjerenja na zemlji» koje je započeo pokojni brat Roger, osnivač Zajednice iz Taizéa. Zašto sudjelovati na susretu u Ljubljani?

Ova je nova etapa Hodočašća povjerenja na Zemlji omogućila mladima iz brojnih zemalja doživjeti slovensko gostoprimstvo i produbiti svoju vjeru. Na obali Ljubljanice, prvi su pravi dani proljeća stvorili dojam mira u pješačkoj zoni u središtu grada. Kao i u mozaiku, svaki od sudionika, volontera te kršćana u gradu svojom je prisutnošću pridonio boji, a raznolikost zemalja, generacija, kultura i kršćanskih denominacija pokazale su pravu ideju o (...) 23. listopada 2011 Dvoje mladih volontera iz Taizéa nedavno se vratilo iz posjeta nekoliko župa u Švedskoj. Evo njihovih dojmova s putovanja. Prije dva dana vratili smo se u Taizé, nakon skoro dva tjedna u Švedskoj. Bilo je to novo, važno i lijepo iskustvo za nas oboje. Razlog našeg putovanja prema dalekom sjeveru Europe bio je mali susret organiziran u selu Jönåker, oko dva sata od Stockholma. Nakon posjeta Taizéu (...) Redovite molitve s pjesmama iz Taizéa održavaju se u Istanbulu svakog drugog utorka u mjesecu (od rujna do lipnja). 20 sati: crkva Sen Piyer ve Paul (Dominikanci), BEREKETZADE MAHALLESI – BEYOĞLU – Kuledibi, Galata Kulesi sok. 26 –1 Istanbul 27. listopada 2014 Nakon što se pridružio maloj zajednici »privremenog bratstva« u Kijevu, jedan od braće nastavio je svoj boravak u Ukrajini posjećujući nekoliko gradova. Zajedničke molitve, susreti s mladima, posjete dvama sveučilištima i sjemeništu, razgovori s biskupima: program je bio raznolik s ciljem boljeg razumijevanja situacije u zemlji i poticanja mladih koji će uskoro sudjelovati na Taizéovim susretima u Strasbourgu i Pragu. Od posebnog značaja bila je posjeta kršćanima svih vjeroispovijesti. Briga za ostvarenjem dijaloga sa svim zajednicama bitna je (...) 27. svibnja 2015 U travnju 2015., održana je nova etapa Hodočašća povjerenja u Ukrajini. Nakon uskrsnog slavlja u Moskvi i dva dana u Minsku (Bjelorusija), brat Alois i četvorica braće zajednice iz Taizéa, uputili su se u Kijev zajedno s mladima iz raznih gradova Ukrajine i iz cijele Europe. Ovi posjeti obilježeni su patnjom povezanom s ratom na istoku zemlje, ali i s nadom vezanom za uskrsne blagdane.

Brat Emile je Kanađanin (a baka mu je rođena u Chicagu). Obojica su braća Zajednice iz Taizéa više od 35 godina. Zašto je Chicago izabran kao mjesto sljedeće postaje Hodočašća povjerenja, u svibnju 2012.? Emile: Odnosi s Chicagom idu unatrag do sredine 1960-ih kada je grupa braće iz Taizéa i nekoliko franjevaca zajedno živjela na južnoj strani grada. Ovo staro prijateljstvo ponovno je oživjelo u posljednjem desetljeću čestim dolascima u Taizé skupina s dva sveučilišta iz Chicaga: DePaul i Loyola. 23. listopada 2006 I ovog ljeta, stotine mladih iz Rumunjske provelo je tjedan dana u Taizéu. Velika raznolikost stanovnika te zemlje bila je vidljiva: pravoslavci, latinski i istočni katolici, reformirani kršćani, Mađari iz Transilvanije…Većina stanovništva Rumunjske je pravoslavna i to se vidi u Taizéu. Rumunji su jedini pravoslavci koji govore romanskim jezikom. Osjećaju da imaju odgovornost biti «most» između Istoka i Zapada. Jednom ili dvaput tjedno, božanska liturgija sv. Ivana Hrisostoma slavljena je na rumunjskom, u maloj seoskoj crkvi. Liturgija je u srcu (...) 2. travnja 2014 U posljednjih nekoliko tjedana, kako je nasilje bjesnjelo u Kijevu, ljudi u Ukrajini su jako puno u mislima i molitvama svih u Taizéu. Kao izraz solidarnost, jedna od pjesama iz Taizéa pjevala se na ukrajinskom u nekoliko navrata tijekom zajedničke molitve. Među posjetiteljima u posljednjem tjednu veljače, jedna je mlada Ukrajinka podijelila svoje iskustvo nedavnih događaja na Maidanu. Dvojica brata otišla su ondje u ožujku na prijateljski posjet. Osim toga , mladi kršćani iz Alsacea napisali su poruku svojim ukrajinskim prijateljima, kojih je (...)
