Daily Meditation - Richard Rohr

"You are the salt of the earth. . . .You are light for the world." - Matthew 5:13a-14a

Our job is to be a shining truth, a savory salt, to live open and exposed on the hilltop for others to see (who are ready to see!), to “flavor” this flat predictable world, and then let go of any particular consequences. No need for anybody else to agree with us, or to need their reassurance that we are right. “We do not think ourselves into a new way of living, we live ourselves into a new way of thinking” has become a motto for us at the Center for Action and Contemplation. It is surely true.

  2. Fran, I enjoy them, too. Some days the meditations are better than others, but they always make me think.
