Image
God tries to first create a joyous yes inside of you, far more than any kind of no . . . Just saying no is resentful dieting, whereas finding your deeper yes, and eating from that table, is always a spiritual banquet.
Richard Rohr
Image
We are usually on bended knee before laws or angrily reacting against them, both immature responses.
Richard Rohr
Image
The important thing is the willingness to give back the gift that is you, not the perfection of the gift itself. Can you feel the difference?
Richard Rohr
Image
The phrase, 'You must die before you die,' is found in most of the world religions. If you don't learn how to die early, you spend the rest of your life avoiding failure. When you can free your True Self, the whole spiritual life opens up.

A person who can laugh and go with life does not demand to be in control, which is why the most controlling people may be sarcastic but lack an authentic sense of humor.
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.

There is nothing to prove and nothing to protect. I am who I am and it's enough.

Image
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
Image
The morning glories and the sunflowers turn naturally toward the light, but we have to be taught, it seems.
Richard Rohr
Image
The message of falling - failure, death, crucifixion, whatever you want to say - is not really that. Some sort of falling is really found in all the world's religions, just in different languages.
Richard Rohr
Image
The most amazing fact about Jesus, unlike almost any other religious founder, is that he found God in disorder and imperfection—and told us that we must do the same or we would never be content on this earth.
Richard Rohr
Image
In terms of soul work, we dare not get rid of the pain before we have learned what it has to teach us.
Richard Rohr
Image
Pain and suffering that are not transformed are usually projected onto others.
Richard Rohr
Image
Being informed is different from being formed, and the first is a common substitute for the second.
Richard Rohr
Image
Famine, poverty, abuse, you can't keep that all blocked out. If you let those things teach you, influence you, change you, those are the events that transition you without you even knowing it to become more compassionate.
Richard Rohr
Image
I am who I am in the eyes of God- nothing more and nothing less.
Richard Rohr
Image
The path of descent is the path of transformation. Darkness, failure, relapse, death, and woundedness are our primary teachers, rather than ideas or doctrines.
Richard Rohr
Image
You come to God not by being strong, but by being weak not by being right, but through your mistakes.
Richard Rohr
Image
In my opinion, most organized religion does neither agentic service nor relational nurturance very well.

What we know about God is important, but what we do with what we know about God is even more important.
