Collected Writings of Brother Roger - Volume 1

  • The most important texts of Brother Roger
  • The basis for the self-understanding of the Taizé Community

Among all his books and letters, these texts occupy a special place. Brother Roger's thoughts, including the important "Sources of Taizé" which have given Taizé a worldwide spiritual radiance - summarized here and made fruitful for everyday life. The basis for the self-understanding of the Taizé community. Words which penetrate directly into the heart of the reader and which have lost nothing of their power and their topicality.

The texts in this book were written over a period of 70 years. The older ones come from the pen of a passionately committed young man. With the experience and maturity of a long life, Brother Roger's texts became increasingly poetic. Yet he was always concerned to write only about something covered by his life.

"In my first books the tone was more textbook: but even then I was anxious not to offend anyone by giving advice."
(Br. Roger in his diary, September 2, 1979)
