Rome Newsroom, Apr 7, 2021 / 02:30 am (CNA).- The prior of Taizé has said that his community sees how young people are longing to meet together again in Christian fellowship as France and other European countries remain under strict lockdowns this spring.
Br. Alois Leser has led the Taizé Community for more than 15 years. The ecumenical monastic community-based in a rural area in Burgundy, France, is known for drawing tens of thousands of young people together each year to live and worship together.
He said that the coronavirus pandemic had caused the community some difficulty, but also provided the brothers with more time to reflect and a renewed perspective on the source of their hope.
