Our theme this year is Being Salt and Light. How do we embody the call to be salt and light — a transformative presence — in our lives and communities? Meditations are emailed every day of the week, including the Weekly Summary on Saturday. Each week builds on previous topics, but you can join at any time.
Each Saturday we’ll email you a summary of that week’s meditations and a unique invitation to contemplative practice. Each summary links to the full entry on our website for further reading, a good option if you want to follow along with Father Richard but would prefer fewer emails.
In a world of fault lines and fractures, how do we expand our sense of self to include love, healing, and forgiveness—not just for ourselves or those like us, but for all? This monthly email features wisdom and stories from the emerging Christian contemplative movement. Join spiritual seekers from around the world and discover your place in the Great Story Line connecting us all in the One Great Life.
