Richard Rohr Doe Quotations

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.

In my opinion, most organized religion does neither agentic service nor relational nurturance very well.

The cross is the standing statement of what we do to one another and to ourselves. The resurrection is the standing statement of what God does to us in return.

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

Much of the Christian religion has largely become “holding on” instead of letting go. But God, it seems to me, does the holding on (to us!), and we must learn the letting go (of everything else).
