SPIRITUAL GROWTH IS A PARADOXICAL GIFT

Father Richard encourages us to find the wisdom revealed in the paradoxical nature of reality. -- "Fr Richard Rohr Daily Meditation"

Paradox - a seemingly absurd or contradictory statement or proposition which when investigated may prove to be well founded or true.

As I look back over the past 50+ years of my life, I am convinced again that paradox is spiritual growth and is precisely how God's word grows us.

If we can explain it by "thinking it over," we're going down that wrong road again.

My life's truth is not explainable...it is an inner knowing. That has ever been the rugged road to faith without borders for me.

A throw-away truism: We can't work for it, but we can't get it without working for it.

Thank you.
