from Fr Richard Rohr...
"When the Scriptures are used maturely, and they become a precursor to meeting the Christ, they proceed in this order:
They CONFRONT us with a bigger picture than we are used to, 'God’s kingdom' that has the potential to 'deconstruct' our false worldviews.
They then have the power to CONVERT us to an alternative worldview by proclamation, grace and the sheer attraction of the good, the true and the beautiful [not by shame, guilt or fear which are low-level motivations].
They then CONSOLE us and bring deep healing as they 'reconstruct' us in a new place with a new mind and heart."
[adapted from Preparing for Christmas with Richard Rohr...]
