More quotes by Richard Rohr
Someone has said, 'To be a saint is to have loved many things' —many things — the tree, the dog, the sky, the flowers, even the color of someone’s clothing. You see, when you love, you love, and love extends to everything all the time and everywhere.
Richard Rohr
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
Solitude is a courageous encounter with our naked, most raw and real self, in the presence of pure love.
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
God comes to you disguised as your life.
Richard Rohr
You do need some successes as a young person. They don't inflate the ego necessarily, they just give you identity and ego structure. But, don't construct your life around creating those. Or you will become narcissistic and ego-centric. That won't get you anywhere.
Richard Rohr
We are usually on bended knee before laws or angrily reacting against them, both immature responses.
Richard Rohr
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
It seems we are suffering from a very narrow and self serving reading of the Gospel right now.
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
The most courageous thing we will ever do is to bear humbly the mystery of our own reality.
Richard Rohr
Pain and suffering that are not transformed are usually projected onto others.
Richard Rohr
Once God and grace move us to the second half of life, religion becomes a mystical matter, rather than a moral matter.
Richard Rohr
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
It is only through the holes in our soul that we break out and God breaks through.
Richard Rohr
If we don't learn to mythologize our lives, inevitably we will pathologize them.
Richard Rohr
Sin happens whenever we refuse to keep growing.
Richard Rohr
Religious belief has made me comfortable with ambiguity.
Richard Rohr
Every viewpoint is a view from a point.
Richard Rohr
Pope Francis insists that mercy is at the very top of the Christian hierarchy of great truths, and everything falls apart whenever mercy is displaced by anything else.
