Voice of the Day: Brother Roger of Taize

Where would we be today if certain women, men, young people, and also children had not arisen at moments when the human family seemed destined for the worst? They did not say: "Let things take their course!" Beyond the confrontations between persons, peoples, and spiritual families, they prepared a way of trusting. Their lives bear witness to the fact that human beings have not been created for hopelessness.

- Brother Roger of Taize

from "Peace of Heart in All Things: Meditations for Each Day of the Year."
