"To live simply, we must take the actual steps," writes José Hobday. "We must physically clear out the excess, you must take steps to prevent accumulation. We can’t do it in our heads. Simplicity is not just an idea." tinyurl.com/mjfp2uc8 #DailyMeditations 📸 Benjamin Yazza
We're so moved by the words of Terry M., a CAC community member. "While navigating my wife’s dementia, a window of grace opened. We play oldies. When James Brown sings 'I feel good—’cause I got you!' she points at me & I at her, connecting as never before."
In the United States there is never enough money for adequate health care, education, the arts, or even basic infrastructure. At the same time, the largest budget is always for war, bombs, and military gadgets... tinyurl.com/mjfp2uc8 #DailyMeditations 📸 Benjamin Yazza
It’s quite clear that Jesus was entirely single-hearted. His life was all about doing the will of the One who sent him, the One he loved above all. To Jesus, it was that simple. tinyurl.com/mjfp2uc8 #DailyMeditations 📸 Benjamin Yazza
"What would it look like for you and me to open ourselves to hearing the earth ask us to reclaim something?" Shannon K. Evans, today's featured author, asks how the Divine communicates through the natural world. tinyurl.com/mjfp2uc8 Photo by Benjamin Yazza. #DailyMeditations
I can talk about Francis’ relationship with Nature with some confidence because it honestly reflects what I have experienced on my Lenten retreats in the desert. How do you experience God in nature? tinyurl.com/mjfp2uc8 Photo by Benjamin Yazza. #DailyMeditations
After Jesus' 40 days in the wilderness, his teachings shifted. Jesus “comes back, he talks about creation for the rest of his life. He talks about flowers and birds and trees and seeds…” Read more from @randywoodley7. tinyurl.com/mjfp2uc8 #DailyMeditations 📸 Benjamin Yazza
"What are the sermons that the woods — those places of betweenness, repositories of ancient stories — might impart from their fretwork of branches and twigs…?" asks @BarbaraMahany in today's meditation. Read on. tinyurl.com/mjfp2uc8 #DailyMeditations Photo by: Benjamin Yazza
We're offering FREE access to an essay from our new issue of #ONEING — which explores the intersection of art and spirituality. "Artmaking as Collective Practice" was written by artist Lourdes Bernard. Have you ever tried painting your prayers? tinyurl.com/bdzxsedr
"The desert is the homeland of my heart." Tessa Bielecki, co-creator of the Desert Foundation (@DesFoundSandSky), opens our meditation with these words; I find they resonate deeply with my own experience. tinyurl.com/mjfp2uc8 #DailyMeditations 📸 Benjamin Yazza
"Modern life tends to inoculate us against these risks, but the God of wild places peels away that safety and brings us back in touch with who we’re meant to be." —@jonestony, author of "The God of the Wild Places." tinyurl.com/mjfp2uc8 #DailyMeditations 📸 Benjamin Yazza
I wholly believe that nature is the first Bible — which is why I think this new season of my colleague and friend @brianmclaren’s podcast is one of the most important yet.

The gospel transforms us by putting us in touch with that which is much more constant and satisfying, literally the “ground of our being,” which has much more “reality” to it, rather than theological concepts. tinyurl.com/mjfp2uc8 #DailyMeditations 📸 Benjamin Yazza
Join me in a #VisioDivina exercise today. For a moment, gaze at this image, allowing it to speak to you. This may take a moment—but we’re not in a rush. What does this image reveal about this moment on your spiritual journey? tinyurl.com/mjfp2uc8 Image by Benjamin Yazza.
Great art and great myth try to evoke an epiphany in us. They want to give us an inherent and original sense of the holy. Let’s explore this epiphany in today’s meditation. tinyurl.com/mjfp2uc8 #DailyMeditations 📸 Benjamin Yazza
"To create faithfully, I am asked to follow an idea into darkness, not knowing where it will go..." Today, Scott Avett describes the nature of the creative process. tinyurl.com/mjfp2uc8 #DailyMeditations 📸 Benjamin Yazza
"The arts are very much like the Spirit. They are intangible. They are ends in themselves. They have an intrinsic value… Art, music, and poetry in themselves are priceless," writes theologian @LeonardoBoff. tinyurl.com/mjfp2uc8 #DailyMeditations 📸 Benjamin Yazza
"When we decide to live in our heads only, we become isolated from the God who is closer than our next breath.” —Dr. #BarbaraHolmes tinyurl.com/mjfp2uc8 #DailyMeditations 📸 Benjamin Yazza

The great truths — when they are expressed in images — reveal deep patterns. They can deeply heal us, and it largely happens beneath our conscious awareness. tinyurl.com/mjfp2uc8 Image credit: Benjamin Yazza #DailyMeditations

Wisdom from angel Kyodo williams (@BeingRevAngel) is featured in today's meditation: "The movies we replay in our heads — held on to from lives past — cause us to recycle stories that no longer serve us, if they ever did." #DailyMeditations tinyurl.com/ykcj4uka
.@brianmclaren explains that "all the people that Jesus hangs out with are people who are being scapegoated, people who are being used for somebody else’s purification narrative." How do you try to be a peaceful agent in the world? #DailyMeditations tinyurl.com/mtf7m86t
@CACRadicalGrace I do this regularly, and it's wonderful. Once one gets far enough away from the traffic, there is a stillness, even in the chirping insects and flapping wings and darting little chipmunks. Be still and know.
@CACRadicalGrace @RichardRohrOFM how wonderful to see this piece of artwork in this space. it has also graced the cover of @DrMayaAngelou's LETTER TO MY DAUGHTER--another form of invitation to contemplative practice and understanding.
Hope to see many of you online this Thursday ...
Gather with us to explore the essential stories that shape our lives! Become more conscious of the narratives we’re immersed in each day with @brianmclaren in #StoriesThatWound, Stories That Heal online gathering. 9/28, 10–11:30am PT. tinyurl.com/yc4ap635
@RichardRohrOFM This was a great article, and gave me much to marinate on. Thank you!
I feel this 💯 today, as we woke up and tried to process the complex emotions of another life that has left this earth too soon. 💔
There is one strong form of Biblical prayer that has been almost completely overlooked by the Christian tradition — I call it #Lamentation, or grief work. We forget that Jesus called weeping a “blessed” state. #DailyMeditations ow.ly/zooL30suUs8
For those who grieve 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 If you watch, you will see the hand of God putting the stars back in their skies one by one.
Poetry of #Lamentation fills the Bible and we continue to process our grief with poetry today. I am so moved by the words of #AnnWeems — “Jesus wept, / and in his weeping, / he joined himself forever / to those who mourn...” #DailyMeditations ow.ly/liO530suUs9
It’s impossible to lead self if we desire to be always right, always effective, and always in control. (Paraphrase) @RichardRohrOFM audible.com/pd/B0BBPSKW7K?…
Our wounds are the only thing humbling enough to break our attachment to our false self. - @RichardRohrOFM
"... #lament is not #despair. It is not whining. It is not a cry into a void. Lament is a cry directed to God. It is the cry of those who see the #truth of the world’s deep wounds & the cost of seeking peace." (@RichardRohrOFM) Just love this. cac.org/daily-meditati…
@DarthCydiouss This was when I came across the teachings of @RichardRohrOFM who introduced me to contemplative prayer. This is the question you pose to the Divine. For me, I just sat in quiet Presence & asked, "Who am I?" over and over. Then just listen.
This is a contemplative reflection on the spirituality of healing and the fruit of the author’s lifetime in conducting spiritual direction and psychotherapy #jamesfinley #spirituality #healing #religion #merton #abuse #wholeness #reflection #richardrohr @RichardRohrOFM
Learning from @RichardRohrOFM : Church membership meets our created need to belong. But membership must never be a substitute for the transformation that should occur in Christian community.
In the homily in today's #DailyMeditations, @RichardRohrOFM reflects on the paradoxical relationship between weakness and strength: "We have to experience our powerlessness before we can experience our power." ow.ly/PUTz30srjV7
Powerlessness, the state of being shipwrecked, is an experience we all share anyway, if we are sincere…
We think that it’s when we’re strong that we’re strong. But no, it’s when we’re weak that we’re strong. It doesn’t make a bit of sense to the rational, logical mind. Only people of the Spirit understand how true it is. #DailyMeditations ow.ly/RQhC30srjVf
@RichardRohrOFM the truth, i find, generally lives in a paradox ... 🙏❤️
Oh this is such good stuff. Even for those who don't believe.
We think that it’s when we’re strong that we’re strong. But no, it’s when we’re weak that we’re strong. It doesn’t make a bit of sense to the rational, logical mind. Only people of the Spirit understand how true it is. #DailyMeditations ow.ly/RQhC30srjVf
