Creation is a process that is still happening and we’re in on it! We are a part of this endless creativity of God.
Richard Rohr
Image
I have prayed for years for one good humiliation a day, and then, I must watch my reaction to it. I have no other way of spotting both my denied shadow self and my idealized persona.
Richard Rohr

Richard Rohr
Image
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
Image
God is always bigger than the boxes we build for God, so we should not waste too much time protecting the boxes.
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.
Richard Rohr
Image
The ego hates losing – even to God.
Richard Rohr
Image
It seems we are suffering from a very narrow and self serving reading of the Gospel right now.
Richard Rohr
Image
What I wish I had said in the book [Falling Upward] is that part of the attraction of conservative religions, such as Mormonism, Mennonite, Amish, groups we would consider very traditional, is that they actually do the first half of life very well. They are often very happy people.
Richard Rohr
Image
I believe in mystery and multiplicity. To religious believers this may sound almost pagan. But I don't think so.
Richard Rohr
Image
Pain and suffering that are not transformed are usually projected onto others.
