Transformed people transform people.

The true mystic is always both humble and compassionate, for she knows that she does not know.

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.

From Richard Rohr

It is so important to balance orthodoxy with orthopraxy.

From Richard Rohr

One wonders how far spiritual and political leaders can genuinely lead us without some degree of mystical seeing and action.

From Richard Rohr

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.

From Richard Rohr

It's not correct to say Jesus is God. Now, don't run and report me to the bishop, all right? It's not correct to say that - Jesus is the union of the human and the divine. That's different.

From Richard Rohr

Without transformation, you can assume you're at a high moral, spiritual level just because you call yourself Lutheran or Methodist or Catholic. I think my great disappointment as a priest has been to see how little actual spiritual curiosity there is in so many people.

From Richard Rohr

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.

From Richard Rohr

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.
