Lord, I so wish to prepare well for this time.
I so want to make all of me ready and attentive and available to you.
Please help me clarify and purify my intentions.
I have so many contradictory desires.
My activity seems to be so full of busyness and running after stuff that doesn't really seem to matter or last.
I know that if I give you my heart whatever I do will follow my new heart.
May all that I am today, all that I try to do today, may all my encounters, reflections, even the frustrations and failings all place my life in your hands.
Lord, my life is in your hands.
Please, let this day give you praise.

Komunitas Taize adalah komunitas ibadah lintas denominasi, letaknya dekat di Burgundi, Perancis. Payung Katolik? Ssssttt, pendirinya itu Calvinis, tapi setelah wafat dia digantikan bruder Katolik. Banyak sekali denominasi yang berkumpul di sana, khususnya anak-anak muda. Jadi bicara kesatuan gereja yang 'visible'? Buatku bukan hanya di tataran kerja sama pelayanan. Ada sungguh-sungguh! Dan bukan mustahil untuk diupayakan kesatuan gereja yang visible. Beberapa bruder Taize malah menjadi tokoh penting di WCC dan duduk di Faith and Order Commission. Sejak di SEABS, aku sangat 'gandrung' dengan Taize! Dan di gereja, sekarang remajaku beberapa kali kuajak untuk beribadah gaya Taize. Jadi, spiritualitas remaja Reformed di sini kuusahakan seimbang. Bukankah kurikulum pembinaan itu seharusnya merupakan "rite de passage" yang diilhami oleh liturgi? Jadi, tertarik dengan Taize?
