It is a blessed thing to know that no power on earth, no temptation, no human frailty can dissolve what God holds together.
Dietrich BonhoefferJust as our love for God begins with listening to God's Word, the beginning of love for other Christians is learning to listen to them.
Dietrich BonhoefferTrue prayer is done in secret, but this does not rule out the fellowship of prayer altogether, however clearly we may be aware of its dangers. In the last resort it is immaterial whether we pray in the open street or in the secrecy of our chambers, whether briefly or lenghtily, in the Litany of the Church, or with the sigh of one who knows not what he should pray for. True prayer does not depend either on the individual or the whole body of the faithful, but solely upon the knowledge that our Heavenly Father knows our needs.
