whoever strives to love with trust

"...there is no deeper love than to go to the point of giving oneself, for God and for others. Whoever lives a life rooted in God chooses to love. And a heart resolved to love can radiate goodness without limits...But what does it mean to love? Could it be to share the suffering of the most ill-treated? Yes, that's it.  Could it mean having infinite kind-heartedness and forgetting oneself for others, selflessly? Yes, certainly. And again: what does it mean to love? Loving means forgiving, living as people who are reconciled. And reconciliation always brings a springtime to the soul."        Brother Roger of Taize

Brother Roger of Taize died in August 16, 2005. He died at the Christian community of Taize in France, which he founded in 1940.  During a worship gathering of 2,500 people, a 36 year old Romanian woman carrying a knife approached and stabbed Brother Roger to death.
