Free Taize Prayer and Concert July 1, 2015, at Historic St. Joseph Chapel, Milwaukee

MILWAUKEE - June 9, 2015 - PRLog -- The School Sisters of St. Francis invite everyone to the historic St. Joseph Chapel on Wednesday, July 1, for “The Beatitudes: Living Christ’s Call in the Maze of Daily Life.”

Using the ecumenical prayer style of the brothers of Taize, France, there will be readings, songs, silent reflection and prayers of intercession beginning at 6 p.m., with cantor Bill Erickson and accompanist Sheri Masiakowski.   At 6:45 p.m., a concert by Will Schlueter on organ will extend the prayer, leading listeners more deeply into the joy, simplicity, mercy and hope of Christian life.  The event is free and open to the public, and takes place on the first Wednesday of every month.

The focus of both the prayer and the concert will be on the Beatitude “Blessed are those whose hearts are clean; they will see God.”
