Christ is bigger than the Earth planet. If tomorrow we discover life on another planet, the whole Jesus piece would not make sense anymore. If he did everything for just us on this planet he wouldn't be the savior of the world.

More quotes by Richard Rohr
Those who are not true leaders will just affirm people at their own immature level.
Richard Rohr
I'm not trying to make political statements ,but theological statements. How can religion get itself so identified with one political party, exclusionary world views, or with pelvic morality as the defining issues of the Gospel? Jesus surely didn't. Jesus said to preach the gospel to all nations, which means we do not just talk to ourselve
Richard Rohr
When we can see the image of God where we don't want to see the image of God, then we see with eyes not our own.
Richard Rohr
Either you allow Holy Scriptures to change you, or you will normally try to use it to change--and clobber--other people. It is the height of idolatry to use the supposed Word of God so that my small self can be in control and be right. But I am afraid this has been more the norm than the exception in the use of the Bible.
Richard Rohr
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
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
Life is not a matter of creating a special name for ourselves, but of uncovering the name we have always had.
Richard Rohr
Sin happens whenever we refuse to keep growing.
Richard Rohr
I believe in mystery and multiplicity. To religious believers this may sound almost pagan. But I don't think so.
Richard Rohr
Sacramental listening reminds us that current suffering isn't the end of the story. God loves us deeply, and the vision for the future is vaster and more magnificent than we could ever imagine. In these moments of profound human presence, we are awakened to the divine presence and see that the kingdom of God is coming and yet is already here.
Richard Rohr
The movement toward gratitude, authenticity, and union is the natural and organic inner work of the second half of our lives.
Richard Rohr
The morning glories and the sunflowers turn naturally toward the light, but we have to be taught, it seems.
Richard Rohr
There is nothing to prove and nothing to protect. I am who I am and it's enough.
Richard Rohr
The ego hates losing – even to God.
Richard Rohr
We are usually on bended knee before laws or angrily reacting against them, both immature responses.
Richard Rohr
The people who know God well—mystics, hermits, prayerful people, those who risk everything to find God—always meet a lover, not a dictator.
Richard Rohr
When you do the first half of life well, you have a good sense of yourself. Most of our mainline Christian denominations, in my opinion, don't do the first or second halves very well. We don't really give people a good container, we give them a bunch of legalisms.
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 is always bigger than the boxes we build for God, so we should not waste too much time protecting the boxes.
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
