2 Quotes by Deithrich Bonehoffer

How can I possibly serve another person in unfeigned humility if I seriously regard his sinfulness as worse than my own?

Is the Word of God close to me as a comfort and a strength? Or do I misuse my solitude against the community, against the Word and prayer? Individuals must be aware that even their hours of being alone reverberate through the community. In their solitude they can shatter and tarnish the community or they can strengthen and sanctify it. Every act of self-discipline by a Christian is also a service to the community.
