Today is the fifth anniversary of the death of Brother Roger of Taize, who founded the Taize Community seventy years ago. Believing that community life could be a sign of God’s love, Brother Roger determined “that that it was essential to create a community with men determined to give their whole life and who would always try to understand one another and be reconciled, a community where kindness of heart and simplicity would be at the centre of everything.” From the single community he founded in the village of Taize, France in 1940, communities of Taize brothers now exist in many places around the world.

Then, finding ourselves unable to perform big deeds, we are discouraged. In a homily he gave on May 15, 1977, Oscar Romero talked about the need to possess a “spirit of martyrdom” – a willingness to give up our lives for God – and about what it means to do so
