On this page are published the messages sent by church and political leaders to the participants in Taizé’s 48th European meeting at Paris and Île de France.

The latest news from Taizé
Brothers' Annual Community Council
Faithful God, we give you thanks, you who gather us in your name, in all our diversity, to live together a parable of communion—whether we our mission be in Taizé or elsewhere—reflecting the friendship you have for every human being. Each of us, at one moment or another, has recognized that your Son, Jesus, was asking: “What are you looking for?” and inviting us: “Come and follow me!” And he offers to make us his friends, in a friendship that knows no limits.
The pilgrimage of trust continues: from Paris to Łódź

The inhabitants of Łódź live ecumenism in their daily lives, building their hospitality and openness on unity in diversity and on dialogue. The first invitation to host

Meditation for the First Sunday of Advent
Isaiah 2:1-5, Matthew 24:37-44
This first Sunday of Advent is also the day on which we commemorate the Apostle Andrew. I would therefore like to say ‘Happy Feast Day’ especially to the Sisters of St. Andrew, whose presence in Ameugny for almost 60 years is a gift from God, and also to all the Andrews among us, known or hidden! At the beginning of this new liturgical year, what do the Scriptures we have just heard tell us? The reading from the book of Isaiah announces peace. Isaiah's time was no easier than ours. In the 8th ce
