Being free means "being free for the other," because the other has bound me to him. Only in relationship with the other am I free

It seems to me more important actually to share someones distress than to use smooth words about it.

Discipleship means adherence to Christ and, because Christ is the object of that adherence, it must take the form of discipleship. An abstract theology, a doctrinal system, a general religious knowledge of the subject of grace or the forgiveness of sins, render discipleship superfluous, and in fact exclude any idea of discipleship whatsoever, and are essentially inimical to the whole conception of following Christ....Christianity without the living Christ is inevitably Christianity without discipleship, and Christianity without discipleship is always Christianity without Christ.

When our will wholeheartedly enters into the prayer of Christ, then we pray correctly.

The physical presence of other Christians is a source of incomparable joy and strength to the believer.

And we simply cannot be constant with the fact that God’s cause is not always the successful one, that we really could be “unsuccessful”; and yet be on the right road. But this is where we find out whether we have begun in faith or in a burst of enthusiasm.

We are silent at the beginning of the day because God should have the first word, and we are silent before going to sleep because the last word also belongs to God.
