Attempting to find meaning in a secular culture leads only to dead ends. Rohr reviews what Scripture teaches about the challenge of living a life of faith and finding meaning “in exile".

Here are four of Richard Rohr's classics on the life of the Church! Talk 1 is "Catholicism: More Than a Head Trip". Rohr fears that many Catholics are not getting a healthy, integrated and holistic teaching but simply a head trip. Many are missing the richness of our tradition. He addresses the current struggles of a Catholicism that Robert Barron says, "is in some ways bland, abstract and culturally accommodating."

Speaking at a day of prayer, Richard Rohr says, “Advent is not about a sentimental waiting for the baby Jesus.” He asks listeners to focus expectations and anticipation on “the adult Christ, the cosmic Christ,” the Lord who challenges us to empty ourselves, to lose ourselves, to surrender. This is the Jesus whom we invite to come into our hearts at Christmas and throughout our lives.

Men and women acquire the wisdom needed to transform the pain of their lives in different ways. As gender roles change, this process also changes, and with it comes the promise of improved relationships. Rohr believes we are in the midst of dynamic spiritual growth opportunities for both genders.

Richard Rohrs Buch über die spirituelle Dimension des Älter- und Reiferwerdens: Was ist von Bedeutung auf der Lebensreise? Während Menschen in der ersten Hälfte in Beruf und Partnerschaft an der "Form" ihres Lebens arbeiten, rückt in der zweiten Lebenshälfte dessen "Inhalt" in den Mittelpunkt. Darüber entscheiden nicht zuerst Altersstufen, sondern vor allem Erfahrungen des Loslassens und wie wir damit umgehen - auf dem Weg zu unserem "wahren Selbst".

Wie kein anderer erschließt Richard Rohr die Themen zeitgenössischer Spiritualität. Seine Botschaft: Wir sind nicht einfach das "Ego", in dem sich Normen und Rollenerwartungen an uns verdichten. Wie ein Diamant im Kohlenstaub eingeschlossen lebt in der Tiefe unseres Herzens unser Wahres Selbst. Spiritualität ist der Weg, auf dem wir aus den Erfahrungen unseres Lebens unser Wahres Selbst zutage fördern. Das christliche Bild dieser Selbst-Findung heißt "Auferstehung".
