"Becoming Stillness" with Richard Rohr
“God refuses to be known by the intellect. God only allows himself to be loved by the heart.”
Renowned Franciscan author and speaker, Richard Rohr, quotes St John of the Cross in a powerful hour-long address on ‘Becoming Stillness’ at Norwich Cathedral. In it, he expresses the conviction that our day-to-day life and our religious beliefs do not allow us to understand, embrace or even recognize the great mystery of God, love, and compassion because we are locked in the grids of our own conditioned minds. He outlines his vision of a non-dual, contemplative Christianity, which disappeared from the west 400 years ago.
