Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Where a people prays, there is the church and where the church is there is never loneliness.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Love asks nothing in return, but seeks those who need it. And who needs our love more than those who are consumed with hatred and are utterly devoid of love.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Nothing is so at odds with prayer as vanity.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Every call of Christ leads into death.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Death is the supreme festival on the road to freedom.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
The Psalter is the great school of prayer.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
The life of discipleship is not the hero-worship we would pay to a good master, but obedience to the Son of God.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
