#FranciscanMysticism #St.Francis #Richard Rohr
The experience of God inside oneself is often called Franciscan Mysticism. It's about becoming what you already are, and the profound wisdom St. Francis imparted for living in harmony with both ourselves as well as others around us can be seen throughout this lecture by Richard Rohr exploring some key aspects that make up his understanding of how we should live our lives based off these teachings.
"What happens in Franciscan mysticism is a matter of becoming what you already are. God is not finding something that's out there over there beyond me." - Richard Rohr, O.F.M.
“Be praised, my Lord, through all your creatures, especially through my lord Brother Sun, who brings the day; and you give light through him. And he is beautiful and radiant in all his splendor! Of you, Most High, he bears the likeness.
Be praised, my Lord, through Sister Moon and the stars; in the heavens, you have made them, precious and beautiful.
Be praised, my Lord, through Brothers Wind and Air, and clouds and storms, and all the weather, through which you give your creatures sustenance.
Be praised, My Lord, through Sister Water; she is very useful, and humble, and precious, and pure.
Be praised, my Lord, through Brother Fire, through whom you brighten the night. He is beautiful and cheerful, and powerful and strong.
Be praised, my Lord, through our sister Mother Earth, who feeds us and rules us, and produces various fruits with colored flowers and herbs.
Be praised, my Lord, through those who forgive for love of you; through those who endure sickness and trial. Happy those who endure in peace, for they will be crowned.”
― St. Francis of Assisi

Thank you so much for this, Fr. Richard. This gives me hope and for the world, for humanity, and for all of God's beautiful beings and creations. I was raised Catholic, but left the religion after hurtful experiences with the church. It didn't feel the way I felt in my heart that loving, inclusive spirituality should feel. So I turned to earth spirituality. Recently I discovered this new form of Christianity and Franciscan Mysticism and it makes more sense to me than I can say in words. Thank you.

Thank you Fr Richard. Your wisdom has opened my mind and heart. It has resulted in a major shift in my spiritual thinking and life. I'm building, slowly, and developing my relationship with my Lord, the Christ - palpably, a far more authentic and dynamic faith than I had before! May the Cosmic Christ bless you.

Being a part of the CAC, and hearing/reading your understanding of Christianity (which had been my hidden understanding always-but I was shamed for my belief that God was Love) gave me permission to be a Christian, a Catholic (Universal) and to carry the message I Know is true through the experience of Grace and Good in my own experience. Thank you.

I believe this is panentheism, that God is in everything, there is no place where God is not inherent within everything there. There is no outside. All is within God. I have always believed this as a Catholic, but I never knew that there was a Catholic Order that also believed this. How exciting!

@Thedisciplemike Жыл бұрын

Panentheism is heresy. It has no place in Catholic Orthodoxy. God is indeed all in all. But matter itself is not God. This pencil in my hand is not God, though God exists fully in this pencil. Be very careful, or your heart will be led you away from God in your search for him

Feast on Christ most sublime in the eucharist, it takes a bit more effort to do so in the proclamation. But to feast off Christ in your neighbor is the most challenging. Most feast off something else in their neighbor in order to build themselves up. Father, does this sound good in your hearing? I'm new to this.

Love Father Rohr and his profound teaching. Too bad the church does not recognize that its teaching on Original Sin is entirely wrong. Yes, we all need the sacrament of reconciliation for our mental and spiritual health. However, as I discovered in my awakening, we are inherently good and are in Truth, sparks of the very Divine. I grew up Catholic and my church was Sacred Heart Church. The images of Jesus pointing to a flame in his heart, I never understood until my inner practice of centering prayer and contemplation revealed the Divine flame within my own heart. This very flame is our own Divine Soul. We are Divine. We are little gods evolving out of matter. We become whole Divine Spiritual Beings and whole Humans at the same time...just like Jesus. I feel we Catholics miss the message. Jesus was teaching us that we are just like him and if we follow him to the cross and surrender to our own crucifixion (death/rebirth) we will become awakened to our own Divine Nature. Amen.

One of the most beautiful things about Franciscan Mysticism is that it points to a more expansive understanding of God. It tells us that we are all part of God without becoming anything because we already are. You may or may not agree, but I prefer this perspective.

Unfortunately what we are is mimics we copy those around us original thought is extremely rare you can probably name them ,the answer is not in the mystics nor in any teaching of man but by learning of Jesus and the spirit if you can listen and be aware of their presence, no true mystic wants you to follow them they want you to find and follow the spirit.

Shame is universal to evolving Souls. Shame is the enemy of humanity. We are all carrying loads and loads of shame. Until this shame wound is confronted, purged, and healed, it is impossible to truly realize our own Christ Nature. The teaching of original sin deeply wounds Souls and the church should evolve, grow up, and revise this harmful teaching and change it to "all Souls are inherently good" and are G-d's own children regardless of what they believe and regardless of what religion they belong to. G-d's love transcends all religions.

Why does everybody mix in new age background noise to this man’s talks? It’s making me crazy.

@DivineMissionaries Жыл бұрын

The main thing here is finding balance - while some audio enhancement can help bring life into many talks, it should never become so overpowering that it takes away from what’s being discussed and ultimately leads people away from what’s important instead of directing them towards it. That being said, though, I totally understand why high levels of background music would bother someone - after all, you want to ensure that whatever message you are conveying isn't lost in rhythm distractions! I appreciate the feedback and will adjust future videos.
