Religious belief has made me comfortable with ambiguity.
Richard Rohr
Image

You surrender to love you do not accomplish love by willpower.
Richard Rohr
Image
every time God forgives us, God is saying that God's own rules do not matter as much as the relationship that God wants to create with us.

The journey never happens alone.
Richard Rohr
Image
There is nothing to prove and nothing to protect. I am who I am and it's enough.
Richard Rohr
Image
Being informed is different from being formed, and the first is a common substitute for the second.
