The great and merciful surprise is that we come to God, not by doing it right, but by doing it wrong.
Richard Rohr
Image
Solitude is a courageous encounter with our naked, most raw and real self, in the presence of pure love.

It is only through the holes in our soul that we break out and God breaks through.
Richard Rohr
Image
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.

Men and women are most alike at their most mature and soulful levels. Men and women are most different only at their most immature and merely physical levels.

We are just a little tiny flicker of a much larger flame that is Life itself, Consciousness itself, Being itself, Love itself, God’s very self.

In terms of the ego, most religions teach in some way that all of us must die before we die, and then we will not be afraid of dying. Suffering of some sort seems to be the only thing strong enough to destabilize our arrogance and our ignorance. I would define suffering very simply as whenever you are not in control.

THE MALE JOURNEY t some point in time, a man needs to embark on a risky -journey. It's a necessary adventure that takes him into uncertainty, and it almost always involves some form of difficulty or failure. On this journey the man learns to trust God more than he trusts a sense of right and wrong or his own sense of self-worth.

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.

After 32 years as a priest , I think its fair to say that most institutional churches are very limited in addressing higher levels of spiritual consciousness.
Richard Rohr
Image
I think it's important to remember that by the second half of our lives, we are meant to see in wholes, and no longer just in parts.
Richard Rohr
Image
Let’s state it clearly: One great idea of the biblical revelation is that God is manifest in the ordinary, in the actual, in the daily, in the now, in the concrete incarnations of life, and not through purity codes and moral achievement contests, which are seldom achieved anyway.

Those who are not true leaders will just affirm people at their own immature level.

People wanted to me to describe more about what I call the container, and then describe what the second half of life feels like.
