Daily Meditations<\/em><\/p>\n

by Richard Rohr<\/p>\n

Franciscan Media, 2019. 412 pages.
\nReview written March 21, 2023, from my own copy.
\nStarred Review<\/p>\n

I purchased this book when I was looking for a new devotional book to read through in 2022. Well, there are 366 “Meditations” in this book, but they are not dated. So I took my time. Sometimes I read a page a couple days in a row. And I ended up finishing it a few months into 2023. The advantage, of course, is that you can start reading it at any time.<\/p>\n

I chose a book by Richard Rohr because I love his email meditations which I read daily, sent out from the Center for Action and Contemplation<\/a>. It was nice to have a set I could hold in my hands, because sometimes when I use my phone to read the email meditation, I get distracted.<\/p>\n

It’s hard for me to do justice to this book in a summary. The entries were gathered by others from Richard Rohr’s many writings. Action and contemplation, like the name of the Center he founded, is maybe a good way to sum them up. We see thoughts about a life of faith, thoughts about how that looks and how it’s experienced, and what it means to you and to others around you.<\/p>\n

I will put a link to my Sonderquotes blog with quotations from Richard Rohr<\/a> to give you a taste. I also recommend signing up for the daily emails in the link above, and if you like what you read, this book is a way to get more.<\/p>\n

Richard Rohr’s writings leave me inspired and encouraged, with my eyes opened to more of the beautiful things God has placed in this life.<\/p>\n
