We must learn to regard people...

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 481 quotes

If you board the wrong train, ...

If you board the wrong train, it is no use running along the corridor in the other direction.

To endure the cross is not tra...

To endure the cross is not tragedy; it is the suffering which is the fruit of an exclusive allegiance to Jesus Christ.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer 481 quotes

It is the characteristic excel...

It is the characteristic excellence of the strong man that he can bring momentous issues to the fore and make a decision about them. The weak are always forced to decide between alternatives they have not chosen themselves.

A god who let us prove his existence would be an idol.

Only he who believes is obedient and only he who is obedient believes.

Human love has little regard f...

Human love has little regard for the truth. It makes the truth relative, since nothing, not even the truth, must come between it and the beloved person.

In me there is darkness, But with You there is light; I am lonely, but You do not leave me; I am feeble in heart, but with You there is help; I am restless, but with You there is peace. In me there is bitterness, but with You there is patience; I do not understand Your ways, But You know the way for me.Ђќ 'Lord Jesus Christ, You were poor And in distress, a captive and forsaken as I am. You know all man's troubles; You abide with me When all men fail me; You remember and seek me; It is Your will that I should know

Thinking in terms of two realm...

Thinking in terms of two realms understands the paired concepts worldy-Christia n, natural-superna tural, profane-sacred, rational-revela tions, as ultimate static opposites...and fails to recognize the original unity of these opposites in the Christ-reality.

the world exercises dominion by force and Christ and Christians conquer by service.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer 481 quotes

Time is the most precious gift...

Time is the most precious gift in our possession, for it is the most irrevocable. This is what makes it so disturbing to look back upon the time which we have lost. Time lost is time when we have not lived a full human life, time unenriched by experience, creative endeavor, enjoyment, and suffering. Time lost is time not filled, time left empty.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer 481 quotes

Time is lost when we have not ...

Time is lost when we have not lived a full human life, time unenriched by experience, creative endeavor, enjoyment, and suffering.

A prison cell, in which one wa...

A prison cell, in which one waits, hopes...and is completely dependent on the fact that
the door of freedom has to be opened from the outside, is not a bad picture of Advent.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer 481 quotes

The followers of Christ have b...

The followers of Christ have been called to peace. . . . And they must not only have peace but make it. And to that end they renounce all violence and tumult. In the cause of Christ nothing is to be gained by such methods . . . . His disciples keep the peace by choosing to endure suffering themselves rather than inflict it on others. They maintain fellowship where others would break it off. They renounce hatred and wrong. In so doing they overcome evil with good, and establish the peace of God in the midst of a world o

Dietrich Bonhoeffer 481 quotes

Christianity stands or falls w...

Christianity stands or falls with its revolutionary protest against violence, arbitrariness and pride of power and with its plea for the weak. Christians are doing too little to make these points clear rather than too much. Christendom adjusts itself far too easily to the worship of power. Christians should give more offense, shock the world far more, than they are doing now. Christian should take a stronger stand in favor of the weak rather than considering first the possible right of the strong.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer 481 quotes

There remains an experience of...

There remains an experience of incomparable value . . . to see the great events of world history from below; from the perspective of the outcast, the suspects, the maltreated, the powerless, the oppressed, the reviled ---- in short, from the perspective of those who suffer . . . to look with new eyes on matters great and small.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer 481 quotes

It is the voice of the Church ...

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 481 quotes

If you do a good job for other...

If you do a good job for others, you heal yourself at the same time, because a dose of joy is a spiritual cure.
