You can credit Thomas of Strong Catholic for inspiring this week’s post. He was posting Taizé prayers on Twitter last night.

In the Lord, I’ll be ever thankful. This one that we used to sing in seminary on Mondays or Fridays when we’d have Taizé worship. I have fond memories of singing harmony on this one with a couple male classmates.

Nada te turbe. The words are by St. Teresa de Ávila. I learned this during monthly Taizé prayer put on by the Christian groups at UCSC.

Ubi caritas. This was one of the first ones I learned during Maundy Thursday 1997. It’s still one of my favorites and one that I think I’ve sung to Daniel.

Jubilate Deo. I actually learned this as a grace at Girl Scout camp before I knew that it was from Taizé.

Misericordias Domini. This is another one I learned while in seminary when I played piano for Taizé evening prayer.

Go love up Hallie and the others.
