The Daily Meditations Theme for 2022 is Nothing Stands Alone
What could happen if we embraced the idea of God as
relationship—with ourselves, each other, and the earth? Could salvation
simply be the willingness to remain in loving relationship with all
creation? We will explore these questions and more in the 2022 theme
for Daily Meditations, Nothing Stands Alone.
"Our sense of disconnection is only an illusion. Nothing human can stop
the flow of divine love; we cannot undo the eternal pattern even by our
worst sin.”
– Fr. Richard Rohr
In this video,
Father Richard introduces the new theme and explains how all
belong—just as they are and without exceptions—in the Body of Christ.
Learn more about this year's Daily Meditations theme
The Daily Meditations are email reflections sent every day of the year.
Each week builds on previous topics—but you can join at any time.
