This evening brought the second Lenten Taize service at our church, Asbury Memorial here in Savannah.
I love the almost somber beauty of Taizé.
Here’s the simple quiet chant we sang meditatively several times during the brief service:
“Bless the Lord, my soul, and bless His holy name. Bless the Lord, my soul, who leads me into life.”
(And if you, like me, from time to time have difficulty embracing the concept of a faithful God, perhaps just switch the wording of Lord to “greater than me” or “universe” or whatever works for you.)
We also recited together the powerful Prayer of St. Francis:

Religiously themed posts such as the one sponsored by you and read by your loyal readers have a limited value in this secular age. Even in the Deep South, there is a weariness with religion that has nothing to do with people themselves and everything to do with the hollowness of the religious institutions surrounding people. Everything that comes from a church is suspect. But who knows? Perhaps we’re due for another Great Awakening in which Christianity wakes up from its long slumber and generates some… excitement.

Thanks for stopping by and commenting, Greg. I rarely make a religious blog post. Taize during Lent, however, is meditatively meaningful and beautiful to me and others.
