Richard Rohr
If God continues to give me health and a sane mind and verbal ability, I want to teach.
Richard Rohr
Our job as humans is to make admiration of others and adoration of God fully conscious and deliberate.

Richard Rohr
The ego knows itself by comparison.
Richard Rohr

Richard Rohr
I believe in mystery and multiplicity. To religious believers this may sound almost pagan. But I don't think so.
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
Christianity is seen by more and more people as a negative message: anti gay, anti immigrant, anti abortion (as the only life issue), anti gay marriage, anti the Democratic party.
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
Religions should be understood as only the fingers that point to the moon, not the moon itself.
Richard Rohr
Every viewpoint is a view from a point.
Richard Rohr
If we do not transform our pain, we will most assuredly transmit it.
