Fifty Prayers Quotes

“Show yourself everywhere as the Lord of the pious and the godless, the clever and the foolish, the healthy and the sick; also as the Lord of our poor church, Protestant, Catholic, and all others; as the Lord of good and bad governments, of the well-nourished and the malnourished people; especially as the Lord of those people today who think that they must speak and write either good or not-so-good things; as the Lord of protection for all of us, to whom we are able to commend ourselves, but also as the Lord of judgment for all of us, to whom we are responsible, at the final judgment and already today.”
― Karl Barth, Fifty Prayers

“You know the errors and misdeeds that make our current situation once again so dark and dangerous on all sides. Let a fresh wind blow through it, that might at least scatter the thickest fog from the heads of those who rule this world, but also from the heads of the peoples who permit themselves to be ruled, and above all from the heads of those who make public opinion.”
― Karl Barth, Fifty Prayers
