The world needs Richard Rohr, for sure. What an antidote to the American Fundamentalism and Christian Nationalism today. Humble, all encompassing, articulate. Thank you for posting this. It's fabulous.
This is the most incredible philosophy - expressing the essence of Christ, unsullied by centuries of human error - I was gob - smacked - PT 2 is just as good if not better
The world needs Richard Rohr He’s Bringing Christianity into a real present time understanding Thank you Fr Rohr! We need this! The Church is losing parishioners by the 1000’s Something has been missing in our childhood beliefs which is why so many leave when they reach the age when people think for themselves .
Being a part of the CAC, and hearing/reading your understanding of Christianity (which had been my hidden understanding always-but I was shamed for my belief that God was Love) gave me permission to be a Christian, a Catholic (Universal) and to carry the message I Know is true through the experience of Grace and Good in my own experience. Thank you.
Thank you so much for this, Fr. Richard. This gives me hope and for the world, for humanity, and for all of God's beautiful beings and creations. I was raised Catholic, but left the religion after hurtful experiences with the church. It didn't feel the way I felt in my heart that loving, inclusive spirituality should feel. So I turned to earth spirituality. Recently I discovered this new form of Christianity and Franciscan Mysticism and it makes more sense to me than I can say in words. Thank you.
You sound like my father. That God is for all, and has saved all, so all of creation has been reconciled, and our fellow humans are our brothers and sisters, they may not know it, but they will... someday. And that is our heaven on the earth, which is our church. Loved the video
Thank you Fr Richard. Your wisdom has opened my mind and heart. It has resulted in a major shift in my spiritual thinking and life. I'm building, slowly, and developing my relationship with my Lord, the Christ - palpably, a far more authentic and dynamic faith than I had before! May the Cosmic Christ bless you.
Food for the soul! Pure and simple. I resonate totally with what you so beautifully said. We are all one and in connection with everything 🌺🕊️🙏🏽Thank you!
I have listened to Fr. Rohr’s talks since 1986, starting with those cassette tapes. Food for the soul …. but I still flinch every time he tells us not to be afraid of big words or asks ‘d’you understand?’ 😊❤
Thank you for this. It is amazing that something so simple and obvious should be a stumbling stone to so many. You feed my hungry heart thank you for exposing truth.
This is so profoundly rich! Thank you Richard Rohr from the bottom of my heart for your hard work in bringing this direction and validation out to us hungry souls!
Thanks! Richard Rohr, O.F.M. has played a significant role in my personal growth. Part two of this lecture, "The Four Splits," had such profound wisdom which I have never discovered before from anyone. ua-cam.com/video/z1P07WqSJlc/v-deo.html
Love Father Rohr and his profound teaching. Too bad the church does not recognize that its teaching on Original Sin is entirely wrong. Yes, we all need the sacrament of reconciliation for our mental and spiritual health. However, as I discovered in my awakening, we are inherently good and are in Truth, sparks of the very Divine. I grew up Catholic and my church was Sacred Heart Church. The images of Jesus pointing to a flame in his heart, I never understood until my inner practice of centering prayer and contemplation revealed the Divine flame within my own heart. This very flame is our own Divine Soul. We are Divine. We are little gods evolving out of matter. We become whole Divine Spiritual Beings and whole Humans at the same time...just like Jesus. I feel we Catholics miss the message. Jesus was teaching us that we are just like him and if we follow him to the cross and surrender to our own crucifixion (death/rebirth) we will become awakened to our own Divine Nature. Amen.
Feast on Christ most sublime in the eucharist, it takes a bit more effort to do so in the proclamation. But to feast off Christ in your neighbor is the most challenging. Most feast off something else in their neighbor in order to build themselves up. Father, does this sound good in your hearing? I'm new to this.
One of the most beautiful things about Franciscan Mysticism is that it points to a more expansive understanding of God. It tells us that we are all part of God without becoming anything because we already are. You may or may not agree, but I prefer this perspective.
Shame is universal to evolving Souls. Shame is the enemy of humanity. We are all carrying loads and loads of shame. Until this shame wound is confronted, purged, and healed, it is impossible to truly realize our own Christ Nature. The teaching of original sin deeply wounds Souls and the church should evolve, grow up, and revise this harmful teaching and change it to "all Souls are inherently good" and are G-d's own children regardless of what they believe and regardless of what religion they belong to. G-d's love transcends all religions.
Unfortunately what we are is mimics we copy those around us original thought is extremely rare you can probably name them ,the answer is not in the mystics nor in any teaching of man but by learning of Jesus and the spirit if you can listen and be aware of their presence, no true mystic wants you to follow them they want you to find and follow the spirit.
Found this talk very enlightening but the background chanting, which would otherwise be lovely to quietly listen to and reflect with, was very off putting and distracting while trying to concentrate on what was being said.
The main thing here is finding balance - while some audio enhancement can help bring life into many talks, it should never become so overpowering that it takes away from what’s being discussed and ultimately leads people away from what’s important instead of directing them towards it. That being said, though, I totally understand why high levels of background music would bother someone - after all, you want to ensure that whatever message you are conveying isn't lost in rhythm distractions! I appreciate the feedback and will adjust future videos.
I appreciate the comment - Observe, Discern and Accept only what resonates with your divine being and heart. Discard anything that doesn't feel right to you. "The spiritual gift of discernment."
@@dgbx6 I appreciate your feedback. I use discernment and don't agree with everything, but I am respectful because my beliefs have changed over the years, and I tend to stand in the middle. Shame left me many years ago; that's not a burden I carry anymore. Thanks
I’m born and raised Hindu and I love Fr Rohr!
I was born evangelical Christian and am now Hindu and I also love Fr Rohr. He is One with the Sanatana Dharma behind all religions.
The world needs Richard Rohr, for sure. What an antidote to the American Fundamentalism and Christian Nationalism today. Humble, all encompassing, articulate. Thank you for posting this. It's fabulous.
Fantabulous
With all that Satan has
Saran is leading fr rohr.
Thank you Richard. Each sees through one's own filters. Desire to see and experience the All Good . Be open to it..
This is the most incredible philosophy - expressing the essence of Christ, unsullied by centuries of human error - I was gob - smacked - PT 2 is just as good if not better

Thank you Fr Rohr!
We need this! The Church is losing parishioners by the 1000’s
Something has been missing in our childhood beliefs which is why so many leave when they reach the age when people think for themselves .
Now we have been given insights thank you RR
I pray that Yahweh protects true Christianity revives it and makes it flourish till the day of resurrection respect from a Muslim

"GOD IS HUMBLE" 🙌
Just Beautiful!

Oh thank you Richard. This is so good. So so good.
God is humble. Just that. Wow.
🙏❣️thank you Richard Roher
He's a real priest of nature
Although I know the more I learn the less I know.
But I do know what i know
Mystics know- inwardly- their lack of God as well as his presence. “I believe; help my unbelief!” Let's stay open to the option of not knowing.
Namaste
To say I know; and to say I don't know. . . ( when appropriate. )
Love Father Rohr and his profound teaching. Too bad the church does not recognize that its teaching on Original Sin is entirely wrong.

"I KNOW" that HE orders my steps because I ask Him daily.
And in Christs crucifixion there was one on the left ,and one on the right. He’s what unifies all thing and divides. He’s both from beginning to end.
The video of the background music is not available anymore. Anyone know where it is or the name?
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of KNOWLEDGE.
Thankful for ears to hear and eyes to read your teaching! You're Blessed and a BLESSING 🙌
Might someone pass on a source for the quote Richard reads, starting at 13:33?
Thx for sharing with subtext (I have hearing problems)! But rhis constant starfall is quite irritating... a forest may be 😁?
St. Francis had to rebuild the physical Church to understand the practicality of building His Church from within the soul.
I’m a 9….my top love languages are Physical touch and Acts of Service…not sure if I’m hanging out on a limb all alone here 😂
Where is the cross of Christ? What about the experience of the dark night of the Spirit?
Those who found god took themselves out of community for ten years or more before returning with that knowledge big ask.
Meet Brother Sean of the Tau.🌈🔥🌈
Does this mean if I believe this way I am part of .god without becoming a Roman catholic
One of the most beautiful things about Franciscan Mysticism is that it points to a more expansive understanding of God. It tells us that we are all part of God without becoming anything because we already are. You may or may not agree, but I prefer this perspective.

Univocity = At-One=ment??

Lots of non-mystics also say ' I know'......?
I know or I am?
Part is correct but the rest is jib which keeping it in the church's. Lol but ok. It's either u know or you don't know.
Realize the Krishna consciousness within
No it's Christ consciousness
Incredible content. Very unfortunate music and graphics
I appreciate the feedback. You can find the lecture version via searching.
Agree. Music is intrusive and annoying. Love Richard Rohr, though.
Found this talk very enlightening but the background chanting, which would otherwise be lovely to quietly listen to and reflect with, was very off putting and distracting while trying to concentrate on what was being said.
The chanting is distracting from the message
Why does everybody mix in new age background noise to this man’s talks? It’s making me crazy.
The main thing here is finding balance - while some audio enhancement can help bring life into many talks, it should never become so overpowering that it takes away from what’s being discussed and ultimately leads people away from what’s important instead of directing them towards it. That being said, though, I totally understand why high levels of background music would bother someone - after all, you want to ensure that whatever message you are conveying isn't lost in rhythm distractions! I appreciate the feedback and will adjust future videos.
It’s NOT New Age music. It’s Gregorian chant. Very old age music.
Go away!!!!
Welcome - I am practicing hospitality!
Richard..take off your habit..thank you😔
What a sinful heresy😔 the antichrist will be the leader of such horrible teaching
I appreciate the comment - Observe, Discern and Accept only what resonates with your divine being and heart. Discard anything that doesn't feel right to you. "The spiritual gift of discernment."
I find your response sad and shameful. If you want to hear a different message, go there instead of standing on the sidewalk and throwing stones.
@@dgbx6 I appreciate your feedback. I use discernment and don't agree with everything, but I am respectful because my beliefs have changed over the years, and I tend to stand in the middle. Shame left me many years ago; that's not a burden I carry anymore. Thanks
Do you realize that it is the human being that came up with the notion and term of heresy?
Why do you think so? This is an accepted historical teaching of the church.
