What we know about God is important, but what we do with what we know about God is even more important.
Richard RohrBecause I am a part of the Big Picture, I do matter and substantially so. Because I am only a part, however, I am rightly situated off to stage rightโand happily so. What freedom there is in such truth! We are inherently important and included, yet not burdened with manufacturing or sustaining that private importance. Our dignity is given by God, and we are freed from ourselves!

Richard RohrGod created us for love, for union, for forgiveness and compassion and, yet, that has not been our storyline. That has not been our history.
