Peace of Heart in All Things: Meditations for Each Day of the Year

For years, I've read Brother Roger's meditations on the Taize web site (http://www.taize.fr/en_article75.html>). The beauty of what he writes is in the philosophy it contains. There is no darkness, pain, anger, or despair which is not overcome by God in Jesus. Peace of heart in all things is a sign of our right relation with a loving God. When I heard that Brother Roger had been attacked and killed by a woman whom his community was sheltering, it gave me comfort to know that even in the midst of such a disturbed and violent attack, he was surely at peace with his attacker and with God and Jesus. --Joe Barone

The Taizé Community uses these meditations by Brother Roger of Taizé for the daily meditation on their web site. I made the French version of this page my browser's home page a couple of years ago, so I have lived with these meditations almost daily. Through them, I have come to know something of the peace and the closeness to God of Brother Roger. I find that these meditations have a lot of God in them and not very much of Brother Roger, and that is very GOOD.
