The big truth for men is that often we have to leave home in the first half of life before we can return home at a later stage and find our soul there.
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
If God continues to give me health and a sane mind and verbal ability, I want to teach.
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
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.

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.

To believe in Jesus, is to believe that the historic person who lived on this earth more than 2000 years ago was the image of the invisible God. That's a huge leap of faith, but it is my leap of faith, it's the act of faith of the Christian community.

Richard Rohr
Image
The true mystic is always both humble and compassionate, for she knows that she does not know.
Richard Rohr

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.
Richard Rohr
Image
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.
Richard Rohr
Image
The journey never happens alone.
Richard Rohr
Image
If we don't learn to mythologize our lives, inevitably we will pathologize them.
Richard Rohr
Image
We do not make or create our souls, we just grow them up.
Richard Rohr
Image
The best criticism of the bad is the practice of the better.
Richard Rohr
Image
Much of what is called Christianity has more to do with disguising the ego behind the screen of religion and culture than any real movement toward a God beyond the small self, and a new self in God.
Richard Rohr
Image
Every viewpoint is a view from a point.
Richard Rohr
Image
There has to be a womp on the side of the head that defeats and undercuts this game of performance. It has to fall apart. Now unfortunately, that very often does not happen until what I call the second half of life, when there's been enough death in the family and you start experiencing your own physical deterioration.
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.

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