Christ's own 'God-forsaken-ness' on the cross showed me where God is present where God had been present in those nights of deaths in the fire storms in Hamburg and where God would be present in my future whatever may come.

That is why faith, wherever it develops into hope, causes not rest but unrest, not patience but impatience.... Those who hope in Christ can no longer put up with reality as it is.

Passion is loving something enough to suffer for it.

God weeps with us so that we may one day laugh with him.

The knowledge of the cross brings a conflict of interest between God who has become man and man who wishes to become God.

As long as hope does not embrace and transform the thought and action of men, it remains topsy-turvy and ineffective.
