Founder of French religious Taize group killed

The founder of the French religious Taize group, Brother Roger, 90, was stabbed to death during evening prayers by a mentally disturbed person, his community said.

Police said that a 36-year-old Romanian woman was detained as a suspect.

Roger was attacked with a knife during evening prayers attended by some 2,500 young people at the Reconciliation church in Taize, in the eastern Burgundy region.

He was seriously wounded and died from his wounds despite immediate help by rescuers, a community member told AFP.

Police said the suspect hit the community founder three times in the back before she could be overpowered.

"We are in shock; there is a lot of confusion here; nobody understands what happened," a nun told AFP.

She said that Brother Francois, who was close to Roger, explained what had happened during prayer and asked people to remain inside the church to pray.

The Taize movement started during World War II, when Swiss-born theologian Roger Schutz, living in Taize, provided a refuge for those fleeing the conflict, irrespective of their religion.

Roger, a Protestant with a degree in theology, devoted his life to the reconciliation between Christian denominations.

He arrived in the village of Taize, near Cluny, in 1940 at the age of 25 planning to found a religious community.

Sources close to the 100-strong group said he was about to give up his community functions later this year because of his advanced age. Recently he had suffered from fatigue and often used a wheelchair.

Brother Alois, a 51-year-old German Catholic, was chosen by Brother Roger as his heir-apparent eight years ago and was returning from the World Youth Day jamboree in Cologne to take his place, a community spokesman said.

Brother Alois had been a member of the Taize group for 32 years and travelled widely in eastern Europe for the community, spokesman Brother Emile said.

The Taize community groups members of several Christian denominations from some 30 countries and welcomes tens of thousands of young people every year for spiritual reflection and prayer.

In Cologne, news of Brother Roger's death provoked consternation among the hundreds of thousands of young Catholics present for the festival, to be attended by Pope Benedict XVI on Thursday.

Prelate Heiner Koch said in a statement: "All the participants in World Youth Day are praying for this great figure. We express our deep compassion to the Taize community."

The president of the French Bishops' Conference, Archbishop of Bordeaux Jean-Pierre Ricard, wrote to the Taize community expressing his "deep grief" after the murder of "this great figure of a researcher and witness of God, impassioned by unity among Christians and reconciliation."

Roger was awarded the UNESCO prize for peace education in 1988 and is the author of many books on prayer and reflection, asking young people to be confident and committed.

Overnight here at the community many young people remained meditating in the church while others wandered around outside, shocked and haggard.

願天主垂顧祂的僕人,賜他永遠的安息.

願羅哲修士早日得見主顏.

NADA TE TURBE

QUIEN A DIOS TIENE
NADA LE FALTA
SOLO DIOS BASTA

The legacy of Brother Roger will be always in my heart.

教宗週三公開接見活動痛惜、哀悼泰澤團體創始人羅傑弟兄遇害,並邀請為科隆之行祈禱
(梵蒂岡電台訊)法國泰澤(Taize)大公團體創始人羅傑•許茨(Roger Schutz)弟兄八月十六日晚間在晚禱中,遭遇一名女子行刺身亡。消息傳來,普世震驚,一位畢生倡導兄弟友愛、和平、寬恕的人,竟然在九十高齡身陷不測。即將準備前往德國科隆主持第二十屆世界青年日的教宗本篤十六世聽到噩耗,震驚不已,他在飛赴德國前一天,在岡道爾夫堡夏宮主持週三公開接見活動時,向三千多位各國朝聖人士悲痛地談到這位上主的僕人。

教宗說:“今天上午我得知這個極為悲痛又可怕的消息,在昨天八月十六日星期二的晚禱中,泰澤團體的創始人,親愛的羅傑•許茨弟兄,遭遇一位可能精神失常者刺殺身亡”。教宗繼續說:“這個極其悲哀的消息更叫我哀痛的是,就在昨天我收到他寫來的一封非常感人、非常友好的親筆信,信中他表示他的整個心都和我及所有會集在科隆的人在一起。他又說:由於健康關係,他非常遺憾無法親自前往科隆。雖然如此,他的心神將和全體在科隆的兄弟在一起”。

教宗在公開接見活動中繼續談到羅歇兄弟說:“羅傑弟兄在信尾給我說:他渴望早日前來羅馬會晤我,為告訴我整個泰澤團體都願意和教宗攜手並進。他又寫說:聖父,請您相信我與您深深地共融”。教宗表示:“在這悲哀的時刻,我們只能把上主這位忠信的僕人的靈魂託付給上主的仁慈。我們也知道從現今所感受的悲哀能夠重新產生喜樂。我們也知道羅歇弟兄現在已經躺在永恆的慈愛中,享受永遠的福樂。他常提醒我們要在天主的葡萄園中作個忠實的工人,即使在悲哀的情況下,也要相信上主常陪伴著我們,也賜給我們他的喜悅”。

泰澤團體一位有三十年團體生活經驗的埃米爾修士說:羅傑弟兄于十六日晚間八點三十分左右,在晚禱中遭到一名三十六歲、可能神經失常的羅馬尼亞婦女持刀行兇,立刻倒地,雖然經過兩位在場參與祈禱的醫師的急救,也挽回不了性命。到目前為止仍然不知兇手行兇的動機。

羅歇弟兄于一九四零年創立泰澤國際大公團體,根據這個團體的消息說:現年九十的羅傑弟兄已經決定在今年年底之前卸他作為團體領導人的職務。

羅傑•許茨一九一五年生於瑞士的普羅旺斯(Provence),一九四零年歐洲正捲入恐怖的納粹主義和大戰中的時候,羅傑弟兄便興起了在法國泰澤建立一個隱修團體的心願。這個團體以基督信徒大公對話、彼此接納、普世博愛的精神為基礎。由於他協助遭受納粹迫害的人,因此遭蓋世太保追捕,只好暫時離開泰澤,等到戰爭結束才回來。

羅傑弟兄曾說:“今天有很多人響往一個免於暴力威脅的團體。要是有人為前途焦慮不安,不知如何是好,他們須知世界上還有很多青年具有創造發明的能力,他們之所以積極奮發,因為他們發現天主創造我們不是為了消極無所事事。他們知道生命不是命中註定的,因此他們全心全力締造一個和平的未來”。

羅傑歇弟兄又說:“我們如何能夠在和平遭到仇恨與暴力威脅的世界中準備締造和平與修好呢?我們必須先在我們心中體驗內在的平安,體驗內在的和諧一致!今天,基督信仰的時刻正要敲響,我們必須向世界展示基本主要的事物,那就是基督,修和的泉源,以便在整個人類大家庭中締造和平”。

羅傑弟兄很重視祈禱,他認為一個人越是生活在謙虛、純樸的祈禱中,越有能力去愛,而且以自己的生命來彰現這個愛。會祈禱的青年乃是把和平帶到危機和衝突叢生的地方的人,他們的力量來自天真地信賴天主。

羅傑弟兄常邀請人要有純樸的精神,不要奢望瞭解信德上的一切,但要有同情慈悲的心,設法減輕他人疾病、貧窮、饑餓的痛苦。他勉勵人不要作無謂的刻苦,但要遵循天主所規勸去作的事,那就是分擔他人的重擔,接受日常生活中不辛的傷害!

羅傑弟兄是先教宗若望保祿二世的摯友,他每年都來羅馬個別會晤教宗。而泰澤團體每年舉辦國際性大聚會時,先教宗總是為他們發表嘉勉的訊息文告。先教宗一九八六年十月五日曾到泰澤地方訪問這個團體。當時先教宗說:“走過泰澤猶如走過清泉。行路人停下腳步休息,喝泉水止渴,然後繼續上路”。

教宗本篤十六世在啟程前往德國前夕的公開接見活動中,也邀請在場的各國信友以祈禱陪伴他的德國科隆世界青年日之行,他說這是教會一個很重要的活動,每個人都希望這項活動帶來豐碩的心靈成果。

Taizé — 18/08/2005



Frère Roger has entered the life of eternity

During the evening prayer on Tuesday 16 August, in the midst of the crowd surrounding the Community in the Church of Reconciliation, a woman - probably mentally disturbed - struck Brother Roger violently with knife blows. He died a few moments later.

In its sorrow, the Taizé Community thanks all those who are supporting it by their affection and their prayer. On the morning of 17 August, after Brother Roger’s death, the following prayer was read in the church:

“Christ of compassion, you enable us to be in communion with those who have gone before us, and who can remain so close to us. We confide into your hands our Brother Roger. He already contemplates the invisible. In his footsteps, you are preparing us to welcome a radiance of your brightness.”

The funeral of Brother Roger will take place on Tuesday 23 August at 14.00.

Each afternoon, from 15.00 to 19.00, his body is placed in the church of Taizé, so that all who wish may go and meditate close by him.

Eight years ago, Brother Roger designated Brother Alois to succeed him, as the person in charge of the community. Brother Alois has entered straightaway into his ministry as servant of communion at the heart of the community.
