"Living the Beatitudes"
with Dr. Bernie Evans
Tuesday, September 17, 2024
7:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. CT via Zoom
The Beatitudes define our deepest needs, as well as our calling in Christ. They speak to our desire to be peacemakers, to bring reconciliation, to be people of mercy and compassion, and to pursue justice and righteousness as a hunger or a thirst. Is it even possible to live the Beatitudes in our current society and world that is filled with distraction, violence, and growing despair? Join us for an evening of conversation as we explore how living the Beatitudes can clarify and enrich our lives, our work, and our world!
Bernie Evans is Professor Emeritus from Saint John's University in Collegeville, where he served as Associate Dean in the School of Theology.
