Richard Rohr
Image
I am who I am in the eyes of God- nothing more and nothing less.
Richard Rohr
Image
If we don't learn to mythologize our lives, inevitably we will pathologize them.
Richard Rohr
Image

Richard Rohr
Image
God comes to us disguised as our life.
Richard Rohr
Image
If we do not transform our pain, we will most assuredly transmit it.
Richard Rohr
Image
We do not make or create our souls, we just grow them up.
Richard Rohr
Image
