Welcome to Precious Blood Renewal Center in Liberty, Missouri, for this April Taize Prayer Service.
If you are joining us on April 1, it is the beginning of a three-day period of prayer called the Sacred Triduum, during which we celebrate the most momentous events in salvation history. The Triduum is sacred time when we are celebrating the Paschal Mystery, together as one Church, rejoicing in the resurrection with uplifted and responsive minds.
We pray:
Almighty ever-living God,
who created all people
to seek you always by desiring you
and, by finding you, come to rest,
grant, we pray,
that, despite every harmful obstacle,
all may recognize the signs of your fatherly love
and the witness of the good works
done by those who believe in you,
and so in gladness confess you,
the one true God and Father of our human race.
Through Christ our Lord.
+Amen.

Taizé is an ecumenical, meditative prayer experience using music, chants and scripture. We gather on the first Thursday of every month at 7 p.m. Each month we explore a different theme. The theme for September was "New Beginnings."

Just like houseplants have certain necessities — the right temperature, water, nutrients and sunshine — without which they can’t live and thrive. People too have a few necessities to live full and meaningful lives.
