Text Quotes
The true mystic is always both humble and compassionate, for she knows that she does not know (Richard Rohr Quotes)
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 Quotes)
Jesus is the very concrete truth revealing and standing in for the universal truth (Richard Rohr Quotes)
One wonders how far spiritual and political leaders can genuinely lead us without some degree of mystical seeing and action (Richard Rohr Quotes)
In terms of the ego, most religions teach in some way that all of us must die before we die, and then we will not be afraid of dying. Suffering of some sort seems to be the only thing strong enough to destabilize our arrogance and our ignorance. I would define suffering very simply as whenever you are not in control (Richard Rohr Quotes)
I think your heart needs to be broken, and broken open, at least once to have a heart at all or to have a heart for others (Richard Rohr Quotes)
I have committed myself to joy. I have come to realize that those who make space for joy, those who prefer nothing to joy, those who desire the utter reality, will most assuredly have it. We must not be afraid to announce it to refugees, slum dwellers, saddened prisoners, angry prophets. Now and then we must even announce it to ourselves. In this prison of now, in this cynical and sophisticated age, someone must believe in joy (Richard Rohr Quotes)
A paradox is a seeming contradiction, always demanding a change on the side of the observer. If we look at almost all things honestly we see everything has a character of paradox to it. Everything, including ourselves (Richard Rohr Quotes)
Solitude is a courageous encounter with our naked, most raw and real self, in the presence of pure love (Richard Rohr Quotes)
Faith is not a means to something further. It is not something we do in order to get to heaven. Faith is its own end. To have faith is already to have come alive (Richard Rohr Quotes)
When you do the first half of life well, you have a good sense of yourself (Richard Rohr Quotes)
God tries to first create a joyous yes inside of you, far more than any kind of no... Just saying no is resentful dieting, whereas finding your deeper yes, and eating from that table, is always a spiritual banquet (Richard Rohr Quotes)
Men and women are most alike at their most mature and soulful levels. Men and women are most different only at their most immature and merely physical levels (Richard Rohr Quotes)
The movement toward gratitude, authenticity, and union is the natural and organic inner work of the second half of our lives (Richard Rohr Quotes)
We do not think ourselves into new ways of living, we live ourselves into new ways of thinking (Richard Rohr Quotes)
There is nothing to prove and nothing to protect. I am who I am and it’s enough (Richard Rohr Quotes)
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 Quotes)
The morning glories and the sunflowers turn naturally toward the light, but we have to be taught, it seems (Richard Rohr Quotes)
People who know how to creatively break the rules also know why the rules were there in the first place (Richard Rohr Quotes)
When we fail we are merely joining the great parade of humanity that has walked ahead of us and will follow after us (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)
Change is not what we expect from religious people. They tend to love the past more than the present or the future (Richard Rohr Quotes)
All great spirituality is about what we do with our pain. If we do not transform our pain, we will transmit it to those around us (Richard Rohr Quotes)
I have prayed for years for one good humiliation a day, and then, I must watch my reaction to it. I have no other way of spotting both my denied shadow self and my idealized persona (Richard Rohr Quotes)
The human ego prefers anything, just about anything, to falling, or changing, or dying. The ego is that part of you that loves the status quo – even when it’s not working. It attaches to past and present and fears the future (Richard Rohr Quotes)
God seems to be about turning our loves around and using them toward the great love that is their true object (Richard Rohr Quotes)
Jesus praised faith and trust – even more than love. It takes a foundational trust to fall, or to fail, and not to fall apart (Richard Rohr Quotes)
Denial of our pattern of failure seems to be a kind of practical atheism or chosen ignorance among many believers and clergy (Richard Rohr Quotes)
Silence is the necessary space around things that allows them to develop and flourish without my pushing (Richard Rohr Quotes)
You create your response to reality, and that response, for all practical purposes, is your reality (Richard Rohr Quotes)
