Text Quotes
Most Christian ‘believers’ tend to echo the cultural prejudices and worldviews of the dominant group in their country, with only a minority revealing any real transformation of attitudes or consciousness. It has been true of slavery and racism, classism and consumerism and issues of immigration and health care for the poor (Richard Rohr Quotes)
Heartbreaks, disappointments and even our own weaknesses can serve as stepping-stones to the second half of life transformation. Failings are the foundation for growth. Those who have fallen, failed or ‘gone down’ are the only ones who understand ‘up.’ (Richard Rohr Quotes)
When you get your,’Who am I?’, question right, all of your,’What should I do?’ questions tend to take care of themselves (Richard Rohr Quotes)
We all become well-disguised mirror image of anything that we fight too long or too directly. That which we oppose determines the energy and frames the questions after a while. Most frontal attacks on evil just produce another kind of evil in yourself, along with a very inflated self-image to boot (Richard Rohr Quotes)
Jesus did not come to change the mind of God about humanity; Jesus came to change the mind of humanity about God (Richard Rohr Quotes)
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 Quotes)
Remember finally, that the ashes that were on your forehead are created from the burnt palms of last Palm Sunday. New beginnings invariably come from old false things that are allowed to die (Richard Rohr Quotes)
I cannot illustrate huge differences between male and female spiritualities except in their starting points, style and fascinations along the way. This is significant, however, and has huge pastoral implications: men must be challenged in the world of doing; women must be challenged in the world of relating (Richard Rohr Quotes)
One is struck in the study of saints, angels and gods by a pattern that seems quaint and harmless. Yet, it is so common that I know there must be a deeper meaning. There always seem to be guardians and spirits of doors, bridges, exits and entranceways (Richard Rohr Quotes)
When you don’t need to play the victim or create victims you are FREE (Richard Rohr Quotes)
We grow up as natural optimists as Americans. Catholic priests were so hopeful as we watched the Vatican II experience. Yet, it’s a punch in the belly to see what has happened in the church and the world. Dualistic thinking seems to have taken over the church and our politics to a really neurotic degree (Richard Rohr Quotes)
The recurring theme of all religions is a sympathy, empathy, connection, capacity between the human and the divine - that we were made for union with one another. They might express this through different rituals, doctrines, dogmas, or beliefs, but at the higher levels they’re talking about the same goal. And the goal is always union with the divine (Richard Rohr Quotes)
I think most human beings are dualistic thinkers. It gets them through the day. It gives them a sense of superiority and security - that’s what the ego wants (Richard Rohr Quotes)
This earth indeed is the very Body of God, and it is from this body that we are born, live, suffer, and resurrect to eternal life. Either all is God’s Great Project, or we may rightly wonder whether anything is God’s Great Project. One wonders if we humans will be the last to accept this (Richard Rohr Quotes)
True baptism allows us to reframe, and contain, the reality of evil, without needing to blame anyone else, without any need for shame or vengeance. We are all in this together, and our common wound shows itself in different ways. (Richard Rohr Quotes)
With improved historical records, and easier access to them, we actually have better reasons for hating one another, for anger and violence toward one another. (Richard Rohr Quotes)
We looked too long for God and truth through words alone. The fruit for humanity has been rather limited, it seems to me - especially when I observe every day the extraordinary amount of unhappy and angry people in well educated and ‘religious’ countries. (Richard Rohr Quotes)
The theological virtue of hope is the patient and trustful willingness to live without closure, without resolution, and still be content and even happy because our Satisfaction is now at another level, and our Source is beyond ourselves. (Richard Rohr Quotes)
Our job as conscious humans is to bring the beauty and goodness of everything to full consciousness, to full delight, to full awareness. (Richard Rohr Quotes)
If this inner and critical voice has kept you safe for many years as your inner voice of authority, you may end up not being able to hear the real voice of God. (Richard Rohr Quotes)
Most of the Catholics Christians I’ve met would for all practical purposes believe Jesus is God only, and we are human only. We missed the big point. The point is the integration, both in Jesus and ourselves. (Richard Rohr Quotes)
Until we learn to love others as ourselves, it’s difficult to blame broken people who desperately try to affirm themselves when no one else will. (Richard Rohr Quotes)
One time, a Protestant minister said, We made Jesus blonde haired and blue eyed and very cute. We made Jesus somehow a much more feminine figure. And there’s probably truth to that. (Richard Rohr Quotes)
People who have been initiated broke through in what felt like breaking down (Richard Rohr Quotes)
When ‘happiness’ eludes us - as, eventually, it always will - we have the invitation to examine our programmed responses and to exercise our power to choose again. (Richard Rohr Quotes)
I see little difference in the attitudes of those who consider themselves Christian and those who are openly secular and agnostic. Most Christian citizenship appears to be clearly right here - on this little bit of very unreal estate. (Richard Rohr Quotes)
One would think that people who insist on being monotheistic would be the first in line to walk across the artificial boundaries created by nation states, class systems, cultures and even religions. But often they are the last! (Richard Rohr Quotes)
People inside of belonging systems are very threatened by those who are not within that group. They are threatened by anyone who has found their citizenship in places they cannot control. (Richard Rohr Quotes)
The journey to happiness involves finding the courage to go down into ourselves and take responsibility for what’s there: all of it. (Richard Rohr Quotes)
Today we need whatever methods or help we can receive to allow the Christian message to take us to a deeper level of transformation. (Richard Rohr Quotes)
