Where a people prays, there is the church and where the church is there is never loneliness.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer

God is in the manger, wealth in poverty, light in darkness, succor in abandonment. No evil can befall us whatever men may do to us, they cannot but serve the God who is secretly revealed as love and rules the world and our lives.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Image
It seems to me more important actually to share someones distress than to use smooth words about it.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Image
The entire day receives order and discipline when it acquires unity. This unity must be sought and found in morning prayer. The morning prayer determines the day.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Image
The first service that one owes to others consists in listening to them.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Image
The best-informed man is not necessarily the wisest. Indeed there is a danger that precisely in the multiplicity of his knowledge he will lose sight of what is essential.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Image
Temptations which accompany the working day will be conquered on the basis of the morning breakthrough to God. Decisions, demanded by work, become easier and simpler where they are made not in the fear of men, but only in the sight of God. He wants to give us today the power which we need for our work.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Image
Every Christian community must realize that not only do the weak need the strong, but also that the strong cannot exist without the weak. The elimination of the weak is the death of fellowship.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Image
Christianity means community through Jesus Christ and in Jesus Christ. No Christian community is more or less than this.

Politics are not the task of a Christian.
