Richard Rohr on Contemplative Prayer & Engaged Contemplation

About this sermon

Center for Action and Contemplation (CAC) founder Fr. Richard Rohr explains the history and practice of engaged contemplation. This video was filmed as a part of CAC’s new one-year online course Essentials of Engaged Contemplation. Fr. Richard says that contemplation "rewires the mind so that everything you do is connected in loving union with the moment, with whatever’s right in front of you. That’s contemplation — a long, loving look at the real.” From Roman imperialization to Thomas Merton's efforts to bring contemplation back to Western Christianity, learn how contemplative prayer can create a change in consciousness in this 2017 teaching.
