Ronald Rolheiser 120 157 "We humans are infinite spirits in a finite situation, and that’s a sure formula for restlessness," Fr. Rolheiser tells interviewer Tom Fox. "You want to make love to the whole world, you want to consume the planet but you’re confined to one person, one place. … These energies — this divine fire —make up our spirit. How we direct that spirit is spirituality. Our spirit is restless because it’s divine and insatiable." http://ncrnews.org/ncrpodcasts/rolheiser_episode1_highspeed_option.mp3 dcoday@ncronline.org Ronald Rolheiser, Catholic spirituality, missionaries, youth ministers http://ncrcafe.org 68955F09-2763-4D75-91C5-F7031C75AD22 Fri, 10 Aug 2007 13:51:19 -0500 NCR Cafe "The real mission field is not Africa and Asia," Fr. Ron Rolheiser tells Tom Fox. "Our missionary work today is with our own children." Rolheiser tells Tom Fox about being at World Youth Day in Toronto with Pope John Paul II. A million young people showed up, he said. The energy was tremendous. But what nagged at the back of his mind, he said, were the 50 million young people who were not there. Those are the people he wants to reach and, he said, the language of dogma and doctrine won’t reach them. He searches for "the language of the soul." "I believe the dogma, I believe the catechism, but something farther has to be done. Somebody has to take this language and say this is what it means in our lives. And that language has to be created.". http://ncrnews.org/ncrpodcasts/rolheiser_episode2_highspeed_option.mp3 dcoday@ncronline.org Ronald Rolheiser, Catholic spirituality, missionaries, youth ministers http://ncrcafe.org 94F8E9A7-1603-4978-B8AE-F76B255B1DB7 Fri, 10 Aug 2007 13:49:28 -0500 NCR Cafe
