"You access Great Truth by absorption and digestion, almost never by analysis or argumentation."

Richard Rohr

"We have to let go of who we think we are, and who we think we need to be.  We have to let go of the passing names by which we have tried to name ourselves and become the naked self before the naked God."

Pat DeWitt Thomas

"The secret of God’s rest is not in the absence of problems or turmoil.  The secret is knowing that the Sovereign God is at the Center and to find that Center and to know its place of refuge.  The center of the hurricane is a place of quiet.  God has told us many times we would not be free from problems, difficult times, heartaches, and winds of adversity.  We are to live surrounded by them, in the midst of them, yet untouched by them, safe in the Center of our Refuge and our Fortress."

Richard Rohr

"If you do not transform your pain, you will always transmit it."
