“To make a start, it should give away all its property to those in need. The clergy must live solely on the free-will offerings of their congregations, or possibly engage in some secular calling. The church must share in the secular problems of ordinary human life, not dominating, but helping and serving.”
― Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Letters and Papers from Prison

“I wonder why it is that we find some days so much more oppressive than others, for no apparent reason. Is it growing pains - or spiritual trial? Once they’re over, the world looks quite a different place again.”
― Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Letters and Papers from Prison

“The God of Jesus Christ has nothing to do with what God, as we imagine him, could do and ought to do. If we are to learn what God promises, and what he fulfils, we must persevere in quiet meditation on the life, sayings, deeds, sufferings, and death of Jesus.”
― Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Letters and Papers from Prison
