Listening to God with Taize Chants
Singing is one of the most essential elements of worship. Short chants, repeated again and again, give it a meditative character. Using just a few words they express a basic reality of faith, quickly grasped by the mind. As the words are sung over many times, this reality gradually permeates the whole being. Meditative singing thus becomes a way of listening to God.
