It is only through the holes in our soul that we break out and God breaks through.
Richard Rohr
Image
The movement toward gratitude, authenticity, and union is the natural and organic inner work of the second half of our lives.
Richard Rohr
Image
If you stay in the mainstream of life, you let in the suffering of the world that invariably enters all of our lives by the time we're in our middle years, when we've experienced a few deaths and read a few headlines.
Richard Rohr
Image
Every viewpoint is a view from a point.
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

Richard Rohr
Image
God comes to us disguised as our life.
Richard Rohr

Richard Rohr
Image
Religions should be understood as only the fingers that point to the moon, not the moon itself.
Richard Rohr
Image
As to his gospel, Jesus Christ came into the world as the image of the invisible God to communicate to us that not only did we not need to be afraid of God, but that God is more for us than we are ourselves or one another. God's love is infinite, and unstoppable, and will win!
Richard Rohr

You cannot heal what you cannot acknowledge.
Richard Rohr
Image
Most of us live in the past, carrying our hurts, guilts and fears. We have to face the pain we carry, lest we spend the rest of our lives running away from it or letting it run us. But the only place you'll ever meet the real is now-here.
Richard Rohr
Image
The Gospel gives human suffering deep, personal, and cosmic meaning, by connecting our pain to the pain of others and, finally, by connecting us to the very pain of God.
Richard Rohr
Image
Jesus is the very concrete truth revealing and standing in for the universal truth.
Richard Rohr
Image
Faith does not need to push the river because faith is able to trust that there is a river. The river is flowing. We are in it.
Richard Rohr
Image
Christianity is seen by more and more people as a negative message: anti gay, anti immigrant, anti abortion (as the only life issue), anti gay marriage, anti the Democratic party.
Richard Rohr
Image
Most Christian 'believers' tend to echo the cultural prejudices and worldviews of the dominant group in their country, with only a minority revealing any real transformation of attitudes or consciousness. It has been true of slavery and racism, classism and consumerism and issues of immigration and health care for the poor.
Richard Rohr
Image
Pain and suffering that are not transformed are usually projected onto others.
Richard Rohr
Image
I believe in mystery and multiplicity. To religious believers this may sound almost pagan. But I don't think so.
