Then I felt that he was getting stale - saying the same things over and over again. Recently I've read some of his homilies, and it seems that he's grown to a new level. Deeper, quieter. Wiser. <br /><br />I had a chance to hear him speak in Miami once a few years ago and was impressed with his humility and charisma. If I had the opportunity to hear him in person again, I'd go.beth cioffolettihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09300116274007165612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15398304.post-21770972153298595812010-05-11T22:10:23.875+01:002010-05-11T22:10:23.875+01:00I regret I missed the opportunity to hear Friar Ro...I regret I missed the opportunity to hear Friar Rohr in Montreal a year or so ago. He was not well received in some quarters, but that only heightened his reputation in my eyes.<br /><br />My late friend and saintly mentor, Bonnie, admired him greatly. I had thought him to be one of those self-aggrandizing gurus and thus suitable for the treatment one is supposed to give to the Buddha if one meets him on the road. I now know better, thanks to the exposure his teaching gets in your blog and a few others. I find the messages I receive from his organization daily are deep as well as understandable. I take speaking clearly as a good sign that one is speaking honestly and in truth.Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17078914306329037697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15398304.post-34794288130767492632010-05-10T21:04:49.300+01:002010-05-10T21:04:49.300+01:00Thanks Mike.

I've not really got 'into' him yet but your post certainly makes him sound interesting, and relevant!Ken Eckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00514247943547544303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15398304.post-56165789252101552522010-05-10T18:18:49.162+01:002010-05-10T18:18:49.162+01:00Wise words.
