These short readings from the Christian Bible are read daily at community prayer in Taizé, an ecumenical and international Christian community in France. The Bible reference indicates a slightly longer passage from scripture. You are encouraged to read the longer passage in the morning before you begin your daily activities, and then to ponder the reading, in silence and prayer, as it comes to mind during the day. For a brief explanation of how I read the Christian Bible, you are invited to go to Exegesis or to Witness. Thanks for visiting.  I hope you will come often.

(If you would like to read scripture comments for previous years, see 1999 and 2000.)
