With casual broad strides Rohr points out the hollowness of secularism and points to the much needed spiritual depths we all thirst for, but few seem to find. If I were faced with the challenging task of naming my favorite Richard Rohr book I would name this one. I am amazed that it took me so long to read it. I read a bunch of his other work before digging in to Everything Belongs. The reason may have been the title. When I first saw the title it had the same ring of "It's all good," which I hear repeatedly, especially when I visit coastal California. When I got into the book, especially the ending (pages 177-182), I realized that the title was in reference to the cross. Most Christians, even Contemplative Christians try to hide, suppress, or deny the dread of the cross. Rohr tells us clearly that everything belongs, including the cross! The grotesque disfigured form of human suffering hanging on a tree belongs??!! For most people I know this is the most challenging symbol to come to terms with in Christian Tradition. Most of us would like to sidestep the cross. Yet, it is the very key to our awakening! It is the shadow that we scapegoat onto whole groups of people. It is the shadow that we project onto the poor. To Accept (with a capital A) the cross requires copious tears (Christian Mystics were known for crying often). To Accept (with a capital A) the cross is also in some way to reject what Dorothy Day called "the dirty rotten system." When we Accept the cross we are capable of solidarity with the homeless and poor. And we are capable of confronting the systems that victimize and deride the homeless and poor. When we Accept the cross we are showing that we are interested in wisdom, not mere knowledge. The path of the cross is the path of transformation. I am thankful to Rohr for his eloquent contemplative treatment of the cross. An Evangelical asked me the other day: "What is the meaning of the cross?" I pointed the man to pages 177-182 of Rohr's book. These pages were a grace to me, which I have read several times. They make more sense of the cross than anything else I have read. This book is a spiritual classic!-Amos Smith (author of Healing The Divide: Recovering Christianity's Mystic Roots) ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Refresh our seeing... *by R***. on Reviewed in the United States on October 14, 2016* During a time of "busyness" - this book will help solidify the reasons why you should enter into contemplative prayer. This isn't simply a book with a Christian worldview, but a God worldview. It is non-denominational and God-centric and touches on gems from other religious beliefs. Rohr teaches that through prayer, we can each have abundance in a world of "need more", connectedness in a world of "like" buttons, and a sense of a faith community that is unique and special as the "sons and daughters of God" -- who should simply be happy to be human. Rohr encourages his readers to step away from our own egos and fear-based religious belief systems and to join one another on earth in the proverbial "we." We are all filled with good/bad, joy/sadness, war/peace -- Rohr says, "Healthy religion is always about love. All we can do is get out of the way." Wonderful insight and thoughts for all who have ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars I thought I know enough *by L*** on Reviewed in the United States on October 9, 2024* Fr Richard has opened my eyes and heart. I feel frightened a little but believe that this is necessary for me. I hope that one day I won’t be so frightened and live as God wants me to live ## Frequently Bought Together - Everything Belongs: The Gift of Contemplative Prayer - The Naked Now: Learning To See As the Mystics See - Falling Upward, Revised and Updated: A Spirituality for the Two Halves of Life --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/2186476-everything-belongs-the-gift-of-contemplative-prayer](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/2186476-everything-belongs-the-gift-of-contemplative-prayer) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-03*
