<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Segoe UI","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">2015 
is a jubilee year for your community and we wish to congratulate you on this 
occasion. At the junction of the centenary of the birth of Brother Roger and the 
tenth anniversary of his death, this spiritual interval is also marked by the 
seventy-five years of your community.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Segoe UI","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The 
convergence of these three events marks perfectly the indissoluble destiny 
between the charismatic figure of your founder, Brother Roger, and the spiritual 
courage he demonstrated in making tangible his ecumenical vocation. It is not 
only a matter of having a vision, one must also be able to give it a body and a 
soul. So, inspired by the urgent necessity <span style="color: #c00000;">for 
Christian unity, Brother Roger not only shaped the outer material of a truly 
multi-confessional community but was also the promoter of a spiritual ecumenism 
characterized by a particular focus on youth.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="color: #c00000; font-family: "Segoe UI","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The 
unity of Christians is an obvious fact to which we are attached by an 
irreversible commitment. But as time passes, the decades follow one another, and 
the initial enthusiasm loses breath, it is necessary to reflect on the reasons 
for unity. Besides the injunction of Christ in the Gospel of John, "Be one!" (Jn 
17:21), determining in itself alone our search for the restoration of the bond 
of communion, it is essential to understand the constantly renewed actuality of 
this commandment. Certainly, historical conditions evolve. On the contrary, our 
unwavering commitment to the reconciliation of Christians, to the unity of our 
churches, is due to the emergence of an ecumenical kairos, by which the Church’s 
catholicity should manifest itself.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Segoe UI","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Brother 
Roger left you hope as a spiritual testament. Now the eyes of hope are always 
turned towards the future, that is to say it is rooted in the younger 
generations. We want to salute the important mission of the Community of Taizé 
in respect of this ecumenism of life that finds its source in a spirit of 
fraternal exchange, in faithfulness to the Scriptures and the Fathers of the 
Church.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Segoe UI","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">We 
end this modest message by reminding you of the words of the Orthodox theologian 
Olivier Clément: " ’Trust’ is a key word in Taizé. The meetings organized by the 
community in Europe and on other continents, are part of a pilgrimage of trust 
on earth. The word ’trust’ is perhaps one of the most humble words, the most 
everyday and the simplest there can be, but at the same time it is one of the 
most essential."</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Segoe UI","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">So 
is it in this spirit of "trust" in the Lord, that we congratulate you again on 
the occasion of this jubilee year for your community and we pray Christ our God 
that he will give growth in hope to your essential mission in the service of 
Christian unity.</span></div>
