MASCULINE ENERGY

Richard Rohr, Catholic priest, teacher and author wrote:

“The deep masculine is love for the truth like John the Baptist. You love the truth no matter what the price of it is, no matter how many you displease. You stand by your principles even if you don’t get promoted or rewarded, applauded or hugged, even if you are a lone voice crying in the wilderness. John is shouting the truth in the desert, frankly because no one in civil society will listen to him. It’s how a lot of people felt during the Persian Gulf War,

If we don’t have a lot of truth-speakers in our country, or in our church, I think it can in part be explained by the lack of masculine energy…this lack of determination to go with what you have got to go with, pay the price for it and let the cards fall where they may. Many more women than men have this energy especially in the church.”

“I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” Jesus
