Image
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
Image
The Psalter is the great school of prayer.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Image
Comfort the troubled, and trouble the comfortable.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Cheap grace is grace without discipleship.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Image
Disciples will not be weakened by suffering, worn down, and embittered until they are broken. Instead, they bear suffering, by the power of him who supports them. The disciples bear the suffering laid on them only by the power of him who bears all suffering on the cross. As bearers of suffering, they stand in communion with the Crucified.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Image
Prayer is the supreme instance of the hidden character of the Christian life.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Image
Political action means taking on responsibility. This cannot happen without power. Power is to serve responsibility.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Image
Wherever there are sinners, the weak, the sorrowful, the poor in the world, that is where God goes.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Image
A king who dies on the cross must be the king of a rather strange kingdom.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Image
If you reject God's commanding word, you will not receive God's gracious word.
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
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
Death is the supreme festival on the road to freedom.
