Abstract

The paper approaches the concept of beauty from Brother Roger’s writings and proposes its essential role in the vocation of Taizé Community, together with simplicity and provisional. Even though Brother Roger never treated this topic in a systematic way, as he usually did with others, we can note three focal points: the contemplation of the simple beauty of creation, the relation between beauty and artistic creation, and the mediation capacity of beauty in liturgical prayer.
