What is Prayer in the Style of Taizé?

Taizé prayer is a contemplative Christian prayer style characterized by simple, repetitive chants, candlelight, extended periods of silence, and readings to foster meditation and a sense of unity among people from different Christian traditions. Named after the ecumenical Taizé Community in France, it emphasizes peace, reconciliation, and a meditative experience where the mind calms and the heart opens to God.
