The exclusion of the weak and insignificant, the seemingly useless people, from a Christian community may actually mean the exclusion of Christ; in the poor brother Christ is knocking at the door.
Dietrich BonhoefferA day without morning and evening prayers and personal intercessions is actually a day without meaning or importance.
Dietrich BonhoefferLet him who cannot be alone beware of community. Let him who is not in community beware of being alone.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer...And then, just when everything is bearing down on us to such an extent that we can scarcely withstand it, the Christmas message comes to tell us that all our ideas are wrong, and that what we take to be evil and dark is really good and light because it comes from God. Our eyes are at fault, that is all.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
