The Divine Root and Boundless Mystery of Your Humanity


“Our DNA is divine. The divine indwelling is never earned by any behavior whatsoever or any ritual, but only recognized and realized (Romans 11:6, Ephesians 2:8-10), and fallen in love with. When you are ready, you will be both underwhelmed and overwhelmed at the boundless mystery of your own humanity. You will know you are standing under the same waterfall of mercy as everybody else and receiving an undeserved, radical grace, which waters the ‘roots’ of everything.”

Fr. Richard Rohr, adapted from his book, The Naked Now, p. 22
