Sanctorum Communio Quotes

“Even the most personal prayer no longer belongs to the individual, but to the church that gave birth to this person and through which this individual lives.”
― Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Sanctorum Communio: A Theological Study of the Sociology of the Church

“Since I as a Christian cannot live without the church, since I owe my life to the church and now belong to it, so my merits are now no longer my own, but belong to the church.”
― Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Sanctorum Communio: A Theological Study of the Sociology of the Church
