Dietrich Bonhoeffer Quotes

The activity will prove to be 'peculiar' by leading the active person into Christ's own passion. This activity itself is perpetual suffering and enduring. In it, Christ is suffered by his disciple. If this is not the case, it is not the activity Jesus intended. In this way, the 'extraordinary' is the fulfilling of the law, the keeping of the commandments.

One should never create tension between ones's footwear. --POV is Myrnin, page 221
