Brother Matthew, the Prior of Taize, has written a letter for 2026 where he asks us to consider this question and provides ways for us to pray, reflect, and act on our answers.\nHow does our present situation compel us to pause and consider this question? \nAre we seeking Meaning, Silence, Direction, Joy, Justice, Hope, Community, Peace?\nHow can we find the courage to begin answering the question Jesus asks?  \nBrother Emile has been a leader and teacher in the Taizé community since 1976.\n\nDates: Friday, October 9th at 5pm to Sunday, October 11th at 1pm.
