Wondrous Encounters

Scripture for Lent

In Rohr’s characteristically pastoral voice, Wondrous Encounters offers contemplative companion for Lent - one that invites readers to be fully known and gradually transformed through the slow, faithful reading of God’s Word, not as explanation, but as as a living dialogue.

Written during a season of silence and solitude, Richard Rohr invites readers into a forty-day journey through Scripture. Following the daily Lenten readings from Ash Wednesday through Holy Saturday, trace a downward path of surrender that quietly becomes a movement toward new life.
