'The water I give will be a spring within you – welling up into infinite life.' John 4.14
A spring never stays still, is never the same moment-to-moment. In these daily reflections, the beloved Franciscan friar Richard Rohr explores how to consciously and wholeheartedly draw from the spring of God’s love, as well as rediscover the spring hidden within. These springs that help you live a courageous, wholly-present and vulnerable life.
Filled with the deep wisdom that has drawn many to the teachings of Fr. Richard Rohr, A Spring Within Us follows that patterns that are found in personal and spiritual growth. These reflections from Richard Rohr call on the insights from a vast range of fields, including scripture, Christian mystics, teachers from various faiths, science, psychology and the Enneagram. In planing alongside each other these various understandings, A Spring Within Us helps you to better understand different manifestations of God’s love; and by knowing it, feel it all the more.
With weekly contemplative practices for you to undertake, you’ll be called on a spiritual journey towards experiencing the transformation of God’s love. You’ll be called back to the source of it all.
'The water I give will be a spring within you – welling up into infinite life.' John 4.14
In these daily reflections, Richard Rohr invites us to rediscover the spring hidden inside each one of us. He reminds us of our inherent belovedness and God's indwelling presence. Remembering who we truly are is a gradual, lifelong journey: Fr Richard offers insights to ease the process and lead us back to our Source.
Although each life moves at its own pace and in different ways, our growth does follow a common sequence – from innocence, through inevitable brokenness, to putting ourselves back together, through ripening into union with self, God, the world, and others.
The author 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 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.
