Words of Dietrich Bonhoeffer
German Lutheran Pastor
Imprisoned and executed under Adolf Hitler
* From... Meditations of the Cross
"Those who hate tribulation, renunciation, distress, defamation, imprisonments in their own lives, no matter how grandiousely they may speak otherwise about the cross, these people in reality hate the cross of Jesus and have not found peace with God. But those who love the cross of Jesus Christ, those who have genuinely found peace in it, now begin to love even the tribulations in their lives, and ultimately will be able to say with scripture: "We also boast in our sufferings"
