Bless the Lord my soul, and bless God’s holy name.

Bless the Lord my soul, who leads me into life.

“Since my youth, I think that I have never lost the intuition that community life could be a sign that God is love, and love alone. Gradually the conviction took shape in me that it was essential to create a community with men determined to give their whole life and who would always try to understand one another and be reconciled, a community where kindness of heart and simplicity would be at the centre of everything.”

- Brother Roger, founder of The Taize Community
