Richard Rohr

En Compasión silenciosa, Richard Rohr nos propone un viaje para encontrar a Dios en las profundidades del silencio. El silencio divino nos ofrece paz y nos invita a la compasión hacia los demás. La experiencia del silencio es la experiencia del vacio y, a la vez, de la unidad del Ser. Segun el, "el silencio no es solo lo que rodea las palabras, sino aquello de lo que procede todo ser y a lo que retornan todas las cosas, el fundamento mismo de la realidad".La enseñanza de Rohr esta basada en la contemplacion y la kenosis (autovaciamiento), que se expresan mediante una compasion radical, en especial respecto a personas socialmente marginadas. Su vision de la mistica cristiana se inscribe en el marco de la tradicion perenne y un espiritu ecumenico que busca puentes con las otras tradiciones religiosas.

When he talked about the Kingdom of God, Jesus was speaking about an utterly different way of relating to human society as we know it. He lays out a blueprint for this new life in his best-known teaching, the Sermon on the Mount. From the Beatitudes onward, the Sermon on the Mount overturns conventional wisdom and traditional power structures, offering a plan for an alternative way of being. Richard Rohr explores the implications of this vision in Jesus Alternative Plan. Going through the teachings of the sermon, he explains the historical and cultural context of each verse, and offers guidance for what the sermon means for Christians today. The result is a clear, yet challenging look at the alternative plan laid out by Jesus for all to see. This updated edition of Jesus Plan for a New World will inspire Christians who long for a transformative understanding of Jesus teachings as they seek the true heart of their faith.

We grow more spiritually by doing it wrong than by doing it right.In Falling Upward, Fr Richard Rohr offers a new understanding of one of life's most profound mysteries: how our failing can be the foundation for our ongoing spiritual growth. Drawing on the wisdom from time-honoured myths, heroic poems, great thinkers and sacred religious texts, the author explores the two halves of life to show that those who have fallen, failed, or 'gone down' are the only ones who understand 'up'. The heartbreaks, disappointments and loves of the first half of life are actually stepping stones to the spiritual joys that the second half has in store for us.'I thank God for Richard Rohr's sage-like presence in our culture: I honestly don't know where I'd be without it.'
