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
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
In my opinion, most organized religion does neither agentic service nor relational nurturance very well.
Richard Rohr
The true mystic is always both humble and compassionate, for she knows that she does not know.
Richard Rohr
The message of falling - failure, death, crucifixion, whatever you want to say - is not really that. Some sort of falling is really found in all the world's religions, just in different languages.
Richard Rohr
Your heart has to be prepared ahead of time through faith and prayer and grace and mercy and love and forgiveness so you can keep your heart open in hell, when hell happens.
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
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
There is a part of you that is Love itself, and that is what we must fall into. It is already there. Once you move your identity to that level of deep inner contentment, you will realize you are drawing upon a Life that is much larger than your own and from a deeper abundance.
Richard Rohr
I think it's important to remember that by the second half of our lives, we are meant to see in wholes, and no longer just in parts.
Richard Rohr
The journey never happens alone.
Richard Rohr
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
Pain and suffering that are not transformed are usually projected onto others.
Richard Rohr
Much of the work of midlife is to tell the difference between those who are dealing with their issues through you and those who are really dealing with you.
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
Nature is the one song of praise that never stops singing.
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
The best criticism of the bad is the practice of the better.
Richard Rohr
If God continues to give me health and a sane mind and verbal ability, I want to teach.
Richard Rohr
The phrase, 'You must die before you die,' is found in most of the world religions. If you don't learn how to die early, you spend the rest of your life avoiding failure. When you can free your True Self, the whole spiritual life opens up.
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.
