Richard Rohr
“Remember, mystery isn’t something that you cannot understand—it is something that you can endlessly understand! There is no point at which you can say, “I’ve got it.” Always and forever, mystery gets you!”
Richard Rohr, The Divine Dance: The Trinity and Your Transformation

Richard Rohr
“Creation exists first of all for its own good sake; second to show forth God’s goodness, diversity, and beneficence; and then for humans’ appropriate use. Our small, scarcity-based worldview is the real aberration here, and I believe it has largely contributed to the rise of atheism and the “practical atheism” that is the actual operative religion of most Western countries today. The God we’ve been presenting people with is just too small and too stingy for a big-hearted person to trust or to love back.”
Richard Rohr, The Universal Christ: How a Forgotten Reality Can Change Everything We See, Hope For and Believe

Richard Rohr
“God for us, God alongside us, God within us.”
Richard Rohr, The Divine Dance: The Trinity and Your Transformation

Richard Rohr
“The energy in the universe is not in the planets, or in the protons or neutrons, but in the relationship between them.”
Richard Rohr, The Divine Dance: The Trinity and Your Transformation

Richard Rohr
“Circling around” is all we can do. Our speaking of God is a search for similes, analogies, and metaphors. All theological language is an approximation, offered tentatively in holy awe. That’s the best human language can achieve. We can say, “It’s like—it’s similar to…,” but we can never say, “It is…” because we are in the realm of beyond, of transcendence, of mystery. And we must—absolutely must—maintain a fundamental humility before the Great Mystery. If we do not, religion always worships itself and its formulations and never God.”
Richard Rohr, The Divine Dance: The Trinity and Your Transformation
