Short Writings from Taizé
8. It Is the Word That Is the Bread of Silence
Why should we read the Bible for ourselves? What are we looking for in that book that is so special? All who read the Bible feel that they cannot remain at a distance. If God reveals his own Heart in it, that is because God is seeking our heart. And the little we have understood becomes so evident and so urgent for us that from then on we bear it within ourselves and can do nothing else but put it into practice.

Peter writes: When Christ suffered, he made no threats but placed his trust in the One who judges justly. He bore our sins in his own body on the cross so that we might die to our sins and live for justice.
