“We are torn out of our own existence and set down in the midst of the holy history of God on earth… It is not that God is the spectator and sharer of our present life, however important that is; but rather that we are the reverent listeners and participants in God’s action in the sacred story, the history of the Christ on earth. And only in so far as we are there, is God with us today also.”

Dietrich Bonhoeffer
