Religions should be understood as only the fingers that point to the moon, not the moon itself.
Richard RohrAs to his gospel, Jesus Christ came into the world as the image of the invisible God to communicate to us that not only did we not need to be afraid of God, but that God is more for us than we are ourselves or one another. God's love is infinite, and unstoppable, and will win!
Richard RohrThe great and merciful surprise is that we come to God, not by doing it right, but by doing it wrong.
