How true is this!? I think so many of us walk around and carry our stories, which hold for many our past, our pain, and our struggles. Even if we may not be aware of it, these are a part of us and our choice as to how we want to move past these stories. This quote definitely hits home for me. It is all about doing the work to heal, to grow, to lean in and to choose to move forward. 💜 #richardrohrquote #Familyfirst #familyfoundation #familyisforever #buildingstrongerrelationships #parentingwithawareness #empoweryourself #empoweryourfamily #livelovelead #strongertogether #familybonds #parentinginleadership #connectedrelationships #fosteringqualityrelationships #parentingforquality #parentingonthesamepage #nojudgementzone #parentingstrstegies #yourrelationshipsmatter #emotionalliteracy #growthmindset #buildcommunication #opencommunication #breaktheshamecycle #mamastrong https://www.instagram.com/p/B0n5itgATeu/?igshid=f6k7yxe9sb2w
"Maybe our Christian religion in its present formulation has to die for a truly cosmic and love-centered spiritual path to be born. I sincerely wonder if this might be true." So on point#richardrohrquote @realmikemorrell
We aren’t really free until we’re free from ourselves: our ego, our reputation, our self-image, our need to be right, our need to be successful, our need to have everything under control, even our need to be loved by others—or to think of ourselves as loving. For a few years we dance around on the stage of life and have the chance to reflect a little bit of God’s glory. We are earth that has come to consciousness. If we discover this power in ourselves and know that we are God’s creatures, that we come from God and return to God, that’s enough. As a human, I’m just a tiny moment of consciousness, a small part of creation, a particle that reflects only a fragment of God’s glory. And yet that’s enough. It’s really that simple. If we have not experienced that connection, knowing that we are indeed a fragment of the Great Flame, we will most certainly need to accumulate more and more outer things as substitutes for self-worth. This, of course, is the great spiritual illusion. We needn’t acquire what we already have. Our value comes from our inherent participation in God."
Fr. Richard Rohr | Meditation: A Clod of Earth 🤗💚🍃
"Most people have never actually met themselves. At every moment, all our lives long, we identify with our thoughts, our self-image, or our feelings. We have to find a way to get behind this view of ourselves to discover the face we had before we were born. We must discover who we are in God, who we’ve always been—long before we did anything right or anything wrong. This is the first goal of contemplation. If you learn to handle your own soul tenderly and lovingly, you’ll be able to carry this same loving wisdom out into the world." 😊👏🏽🍃🌾
Fr. Richard Rohr, Simplicity: The Freedom of Letting Go
"The fact that God has given us so many different faces and temperaments and emotions and histories shows us how God honors each unique journey and culture. God is not threatened by differences."
Fr. Richard Rohr | Everything Belongs 😊📚👏🏽
"I’m not afraid to let go of life because I have life. I am life. I know life is somehow eternal—so broad and deep it can even contain death!—and another form of life is waiting for me."
Fr. Richard Rohr (I so agree and love these words!) 😊❤️🙏🏽👏🏽
"The church consists of the communion of the whole world. In order words, wherever there is communion, that’s the church. Wherever there is love, that’s where God is. Even though an official “doctor of the church” said this, most Catholics and Evangelicals would disagree. They’d say the church is comprised of people who belong to our tribe or group, who have been baptized and follow all proper rituals and believe the right things. This is one of the sad results of dualistic thinking; the mind loves to exclude, eliminate, and constrict inside its supposed certitudes. One of the signs of nondual consciousness is that you can actually understand and be patient with dualistic thinkers, even though you can no longer return to that straight jacket yourself."
Richard Rohr Love this! 🤗👏🏽💚
