O Christ,
tirelessly you seek those who are looking for you
and who think that you are far away;
teach us, at every moment,
to place our spirits in your hands.
While we are still looking for you,
already you have found us.
However poor our prayer,
you hear us far more than we can imagine or believe.
Brother Roger, 1915 – 2005, Swiss monastic, founded the Taizé Community
