More quotes by Richard Rohr
It is only through the holes in our soul that we break out and God breaks through.
Richard Rohr
God is always bigger than the boxes we build for God, so we should not waste too much time protecting the boxes.
Richard Rohr
Spirituality is about being ready. All the spiritual disciplines of your life - prayer, study, meditation or ritual, religious vows - are there so you can break through to the eternal. Spirituality is about awakening the eyes, the ears, the heart so you can see what's always happening right in front of you.
Richard Rohr
What we know about God is important, but what we do with what we know about God is even more important.
Richard Rohr
The movement toward gratitude, authenticity, and union is the natural and organic inner work of the second half of our lives.
Richard Rohr
When 'happiness' eludes us - as, eventually, it always will - we have the invitation to examine our programmed responses and to exercise our power to choose again.
Richard Rohr
To the degree you have experienced intimacy with God, you won’t be afraid of death because you’re experiencing the first tastes and promises of heaven in this world.
Richard Rohr
I'm not trying to make political statements ,but theological statements. How can religion get itself so identified with one political party, exclusionary world views, or with pelvic morality as the defining issues of the Gospel? Jesus surely didn't. Jesus said to preach the gospel to all nations, which means we do not just talk to ourselve
Richard Rohr
Having a school really is the fulfillment of a longtime dream of mine.
Richard Rohr
Many people who attack me know so little of that larger Tradition, and end up being not very traditional at all. When you invoke the whole and great Tradition, you end up scaring people who call 1950 America traditional Christianity. It is just what they are used to in their one limited lifetime.
Richard Rohr
You have to find some way to not become a cynical or negative person, a person who keeps walking around and opening your eyes in the outside world but inside you close down, a person who stops expecting tomorrow to be better than today.
Richard Rohr
Life is not a matter of creating a special name for ourselves, but of uncovering the name we have always had.
Richard Rohr
Religions should be understood as only the fingers that point to the moon, not the moon itself.
Richard Rohr
There is a part of you that is Love itself, and that is what we must fall into. It is already there. Once you move your identity to that level of deep inner contentment, you will realize you are drawing upon a Life that is much larger than your own and from a deeper abundance.
Richard Rohr
Our job as humans is to make admiration of others and adoration of God fully conscious and deliberate.
Richard Rohr
Someone has said, 'To be a saint is to have loved many things' —many things — the tree, the dog, the sky, the flowers, even the color of someone’s clothing. You see, when you love, you love, and love extends to everything all the time and everywhere.
Richard Rohr
I believe in mystery and multiplicity. To religious believers this may sound almost pagan. But I don't think so.
Richard Rohr
Much of what is called Christianity has more to do with disguising the ego behind the screen of religion and culture than any real movement toward a God beyond the small self, and a new self in God.
Richard Rohr
When we can see the image of God where we don't want to see the image of God, then we see with eyes not our own.
Richard Rohr
Jesus is the very concrete truth revealing and standing in for the universal truth.
