Journals of Brother Roger of Taizé, Volume 4

History & Biography

“Here is the folly of the gospel overwhelmed by friendship and sparkling with freshness. Every entry of Brother Roger’s journals is a season of the spirit, each place and person bears the divine imprint and reveals the greater tug of Christ’s yoke. Joy and simplicity dance even in the darkness of poverty and doubt. The chronicles of toil and tears in founding Taizé for all generations and for generations to come take us to the very heart of God in solidarity with the world’s poorest. To the refrain ‘Where can God be?’ comes the unshakeable assurance, ‘Right beside you in the miracles of reconciliation and resurrection.’”
