A Spring Within Us

A Book of Daily Meditations

By: Richard Rohr

Narrated by: John Quigley OFM

In these daily reflections, Richard Rohr invites us to rediscover the spring hidden inside. 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.

Fr. Richard draws 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 the book, 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.

Beautiful centering daily meditations

This is a sort of summary of Richard Rohr's teaching - and much more - broken down to daily meditation. It is priceless for seekers of Christ's Way.

I love these meditations. I listen every day.

I couldn't wait to hear them just one day at a time, so initially I listened to the whole thing over several days. I absolutely love this book and the narrator has the perfect voice for these very spiritually healing talks. As someone in the second half of life I found it very helpful. I just can't say enough good things about it. It's what your soul needed to hear. And, now I am re-listening to some of my favorite Weeks and will continue to listen to the whole thing again and again, just to use as my daily meditation to remind myself of what I already know.
