More quotes by Richard Rohr
Solitude is a courageous encounter with our naked, most raw and real self, in the presence of pure love.
Richard Rohr
The most common one-liner in the Bible is, Do not be afraid. Someone counted, and it occurs 365 times.
Richard Rohr
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
The great and merciful surprise is that we come to God, not by doing it right, but by doing it wrong.
Richard Rohr
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
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
The journey never happens alone.
Richard Rohr
To the degree you have experienced intimacy with God, you won’t be afraid of death because you’re experiencing the first tastes and promises of heaven in this world.
Richard Rohr
A paradox is a seeming contradiction, always demanding a change on the side of the observer. If we look at almost all things honestly we see everything has a character of paradox to it. Everything, including ourselves.
Richard Rohr
Religions should be understood as only the fingers that point to the moon, not the moon itself.
Richard Rohr
What we know about God is important, but what we do with what we know about God is even more important.
Richard Rohr
People who’ve had any genuine spiritual experience always know that they don’t know. They are utterly humbled before mystery. They are in awe before the abyss of it all, in wonder at eternity and depth, and a Love, which is incomprehensible to the mind.
Richard Rohr
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
God is always bigger than the boxes we build for God, so we should not waste too much time protecting the boxes.
Richard Rohr
Egoic consciousness is the one we all normally operate with, until we are told there is something else! Every culture teaches egoic consciousness in different ways. At that level it is all about me, my preferences, my choices, my needs, my desires and me and my group as the central reference point.
Richard Rohr
When you do the first half of life well, you have a good sense of yourself.
Richard Rohr
Whole people see and create wholeness wherever they go split people see and create splits in everything and everybody.
Richard Rohr
When you haven't found inner meaning, you will always substitute outer performance. It's the only way to fill that void, that sense of significance - that I am significant. So almost the degree of outer performance can, in many cases, mirror the lack of inner alignment.
Richard Rohr
Contemplation is an alternative consciousness that refuses to identify with or feed what are only passing shows. It is the absolute opposite of addiction, consumerism or any egoic consciousness.
Richard Rohr
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
