On Being Right

Being compassionate and loving is more important than being right or having all the answers. Focussing on head knowledge can hinder loving like Jesus, and what matters most is walking in truth through actions, not just words.

Thank you Hazel for the openness and honesty you brought to the topic. So many excellent points - I could listen to you all day! I think Richard Rohr speaks great spiritual truths and I enjoy his meditations - regardless of his theology on some topics, we can still learn so much from these faithful people. Thank you Hazel.

How kind of you, Suzette. Thank you. Yes, I agree; we can learn so much from people who honestly reflect on life and matters of faith. It’s another aspect of ‘being right’ - we don’t need to agree with someone on every point in order to benefit from their wisdom and spiritual understanding. And I am humbled by folk like Richard Rohr who commit their lives to God in a much bigger way than I've done, and have a much greater influence for good than I ever could. Hazel
