Richard Rohr Quotes About Grace

QUOTES ABOUT: GRACE

It is at the bottom where we find grace; for like water, grace seeks the lowest place and there it pools up.

Richard Rohr

Water, Grace, Pool

  

Once you experience being loved when you are unworthy, being forgiven when you did something wrong, that moves you into non-dual thinking. You move from what I call meritocracy, quid pro quo thinking, to the huge ocean of grace, where you stop counting or calculating.

Richard Rohr

Ocean, Moving, Thinking

Church practice has been more influenced by Plato than by Jesus. We invariably prefer the universal synthesis, the answer that settles all the dust and resolves every question even when it is not entirely true over the mercy and grace of God.

Richard Rohr

Jesus, Plato, Dust

Richard Rohr (2011). “Falling Upward: A Spirituality for the Two Halves of Life”, p.56, John Wiley & Sons

  

Your heart has to be prepared ahead of time through faith and prayer and grace and mercy and love and forgiveness so you can keep your heart open in hell, when hell happens.

Richard Rohr

Prayer, Heart, Grace And Mercy

"Third Sunday of Advent: Keeping Our Hearts Open in Hell". Fr. Richard Rohr's homily at the Center for Action and Contemplation, cac.org. December 16, 2012. 

  

Once God and grace move us to the second half of life, religion becomes a mystical matter, rather than a moral matter.

Richard Rohr

Moving, Grace, Half

5.  Prayer

A Prayer To Know Your Grace In My Life

Help me O God, because like all the children of men, I need your daily grace. Yesterday’s blessings can encourage but will not take care of the burdens of today.

May I know Thee as the Shepherd of my life and eternal soul. May my fears be dissolved by faith in Thee and through the power of Thy love.

Help me to love and manifest the spirit of love under all circumstances to all people. May my life be a glory to Thyself, a help to my fellow-man and rewarding to me.

In Jesus’ name,

Amen.
