The #Christ #Mystery anoints all physical matter with eternal purpose for the very beginning.

~Richard Rohr, #TheUniversalChrist, p. 20

#Christ is God, and Jesus is the Christ's historical manifestation in time.

#Jesus is a Third Someone, not just God and not just man but #God and #human together.

~Richard Rohr, #TheUniversalChrist, p. 19

Our faith became a competitive theology with various parochial theories of salvation, instead of a universal cosmology inside of which all can live with an inherent dignity.

~Richard Rohr, #TheUniversalChrist, p. 17

Ordinary #matter is the hiding place for #Spirit, and thus the very Body of #God.

~Richard Rohr, #TheUniversalChrist, p. 16

#Jesus came out of an already #Christ-soaked world.

~Richard Rohr, #TheUniversalChrist, p. 15

Everything visible, without exception, is the outpouring of #God.

~Richard Rohr, #TheUniversalChrist, p. 13

No despair of ours can alter the reality of things, nor stain the joy of the cosmic dance, which is always there.

—Thomas Merton, 1915–1968

[As quoted in #TheUniversalChrist by Fr. Richard Rohr]

I do not #worship matter. I worship the #God of matter, who became matter for my sake and deigned to inhabit matter, who worked out my #salvation through matter. I will not cease from honoring that matter which works my salvation.

—St. John Damascene, 675–753

[As quoted in #TheUniversalChrist by Fr. Richard Rohr]

The only really absolute #mysteries in #Christianity are the self-communication of #God in the depths of existence—which we call #grace, and in history—which we call #Christ.

—Fr. Karl Rahner,
Jesuit priest and theologian, (1904–1984)
