More quotes by Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Prayer does not mean simply to pour out one's heart. It means rather to find the way to God and to speak with him, whether the heart is full or empty.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
It is the nature, and the advantage, of strong people that they can raise the crucial questions and form a clear opinion about them.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
To endure the cross is not tragedy it is the suffering which is the fruit of an exclusive allegiance to Jesus Christ.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
In the New Testament our enemies are those who harbor hostility against us, not those against whom we cherish hostility, for Jesus refuses to reckon with such a possibility.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Every wedding must be an occasion of joy that human beings can do such great things, that they have been given such immense freedom and power to take the helm in their life's journey.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Not until one person desires to keep his own bread for himself does hunger ensue.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
The disciple simply burns his boats and goes ahead. He is called out... The old life is left behind, and completely surrendered. The disciple is dragged out of his relative security into a life of absolute insecurity... out of the realm of the finite...into the realm of infinite possibilities.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
A pastor who does not pray daily for his congregation is not a pastor.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
God has reserved to Himself the right to determine the end of life, because He alone knows the goal to which it is His will to lead it. It is for Him alone to justify a life or to cast it away.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
We must learn to regard people less in light of what they do or omit to do, and more in the light of what they suffer.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
What we are in ourselves, and what we owe to others makes us a complete whole.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Christianity means community through Jesus Christ and in Jesus Christ. No Christian community is more or less than this.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
The responsible person seeks to make his whole life a response to the question and call of God.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
The right way to requite evil, according to Jesus, is not to resist it. This saying of Christ removes the Church from the sphere of politics and law.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Each morning is a new beginning of our life. Each day is a finished whole. The present day marks the boundary of our cares and concerns. It is long enough to find God or lose Him, to keep faith or fall into disgrace.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
It is a blessed thing to know that no power on earth, no temptation, no human frailty can dissolve what God holds together.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
The right way to pray is to stretch out our hands and ask of One who we know has the heart of a Father.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
The Psalter is the great school of prayer.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
time is the most valuable thing that we have, because it is the most irrevocable.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
It is the voice of the Church that is heard in singing together. It is not you that sings, it is the Church that is singing, and you, as a member of the Church, may share in its song.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
