Katie’s Quotes

“One has to wonder, do we really want people to grow, or do we just want to be in control of the moment?”
― Richard Rohr, Breathing Underwater

“Almost all true spirituality has a paradoxical character to it, which is why the totally rational or dualistic mind invariably misses the point, and just calls things it does not understand wrong, heresy, or stupid.”
― Richard Rohr, Breathing Underwater

“As my father, St. Francis, put it, when the heart is pure, “Love responds to Love alone” and has little to do with duty, obligation, requirement, or heroic anything. It is easy to surrender when you know that nothing but Love and Mercy is on the other side.”
― Richard Rohr, Breathing Underwater

“you are often most gifted to heal others precisely where you yourself were wounded, or wounded others.”
― Richard Rohr, Breathing Underwater

“Forgiveness is to let go of our hope for a different or better past.” It is what it is, and such acceptance leads to great freedom, as long as there is also accountability and healing in the process.”
― Richard Rohr, Breathing Underwater
