Quotes by Peter Mommsen (?)

“To make another human being feel like a fool is a terrible sin,” he once told Heiner. “It is soul murder.”

“He wasn’t famous. Yet just because he wasn’t famous, in the same way most of us will never be, we want to ask him a few questions. Embarrassingly basic questions, such as, “What am I here for?” “How can I relate to others?” “What matters in life?” “What about God?”
― Peter Mommsen, Homage to a Broken Man: The Life of J. Heinrich Arnold – A true story of faith, forgiveness, sacrifice, and community

“What could Jesus’ command to “love your neighbor as yourself” mean, if it didn’t mean making sure that one’s neighbor had the same access to education, healthcare, housing, and food?”
