About the Daily Meditations
Many hearts, heads, and hands go into creating Richard Rohr’s Daily Meditations.
The Daily Meditations are email reflections featuring Richard Rohr and the Center for Action and Contemplation (CAC) faculty, as well as guest teachers and authors, reflecting on the wisdom and practices of the Christian contemplative tradition. We invite you to learn more about the team and the work behind this important CAC program.

Skillful Researching
A team of staff and contractors draw from their own areas of expertise to provide material for the Daily Meditations.
From a broad topic to specific voices and specialized content, our researchers provide the building blocks of the Daily Meditations.
Searching for Sources
Our research librarian contributes by locating sources to support the paragraphs, sentences, or phrases quoted in the Meditations.
Contractor Therese Terndrup writes about the surprising process of finding sources.
Contemplative Art
From nearly the very beginning, the Daily Meditations have included an image at the top.
For Jenna Keiper, choosing images is an opportunity to receive the moment just as it is.
