Text Quotes
This is perhaps the greatest moral challenge Jesus left us: We all do pretty well in love when the persons we are loving are warm and gracious, but can we be gracious and mellow in the face of bitterness, jealousy, hatred, withdrawal? That’s the litmus test of love  (Ronald Rolheiser Quotes) We prepare to die by pushing ourselves to love less narrowly. In that sense, readying ourselves for death is really an ever-widening entry into life  (Ronald Rolheiser Quotes) Without making any moral judgements whatsoever, one can say that self-indulgence and excessive self-preoccupation are the antithesis of genuine awareness.  (Ronald Rolheiser Quotes) The highest compliment we can give to God, our Creator, is to thoroughly enjoy the gift of life. One should never look a gift universe in the mouth! The best way to pay for a beautiful moment is to enjoy it.  (Ronald Rolheiser Quotes) Spirituality is more about whether or not we can sleep at night than about whether or not we go to church. It is about being integrated or falling apart, about being within community or being lonely, about being in harmony with Mother Earth or being alienated from her.  (Ronald Rolheiser Quotes) Charity is appeased when some rich person gives money to the poor while justice asks why one person can be that rich when so many are poor.  (Ronald Rolheiser Quotes) Spirituality is about what we do about the fire inside of us, about how we channel our eros  (Ronald Rolheiser Quotes) It is no easy task to walk this earth and find peace. Inside of us, it would seem, something is at odds with the very rhythm of things and we are forever restless, dissatisfied, frustrated, and aching. We are so overcharged with desire that it is hard to come to simple rest. Desire is always stronger than satisfaction  (Ronald Rolheiser Quotes) Grace, not willpower, is what ultimately empowers us to live loving lives. Creativity, both in what spawns within the artist and the artifact, can be a vital source of that grace  (Ronald Rolheiser Quotes) Sanctity has to do with gratitude. To be a saint is to be fueled by gratitude, nothing more and nothing less  (Ronald Rolheiser Quotes)
