Synopsis

From the rear cover of this 428-page book: "In these daily reflections, Richard Rohr invites us to rediscover the spring hidden inside each of us. He reminds us of our inherent belovedness and God's indwelling presence. Remembering who we truly are is a gradual, lifelong journey, but Fr. Richard offers insights to ease the process and lead us back to our Source. The meditations follow the arc of life from innocence, through inevitable brokenness, to putting ourselves back together, through ripening into union - with self, God, the world, and others. Although each life moves at its own pace and in different ways, this growth does follow a common sequence. Fr. Richard explores each stage, drawing from Scripture, Christian mystics, non-dual teachers from various faiths, and wisdom from other fields such as psychology, science, the Enneagram, and the Twelve Steps. He is not teaching new concepts so much as framing them in a way that resonates with our intuitive wisdom, the truth that our souls already know. Each week concludes with a unique invitation to contemplative practice. Throughout these pages, Fr. Richard also calls us to compassionate action. The spiritual journey is not merely for our own transformation, but for the healing of the world. This is a book to return to again and again, year after year, as our lives slowly ripen into wholeness."
