Prophets of our time: Brother Roger of Taizé

20 11 2008

In this post you will find added the letter that I wrote to my friends and to the brothers of the Community of Taizè the day after the death (August, 16, 2005) of br. Roger of Taizè.

In my life, I have been very lucky beacuse I had the opportunity to spend almost 1 year in Taizè as a volunteer, between 1996 and 1997: so, I had the possibility to pray with him, to listen to his meditation and even to…drink hot chocolate with him!

The letter is in italian. For all the people who are not familiar with my mother language, I recommend to visit the Taizé Website: you will find there all the informations (in your own language) about a person that I consider a “prophet of our time”.
