Prayer: Dietrich Bonhoeffer

A blessing is the visible, perceptible, effective proximity of God. A blessing demands to be passed on - it communicates itself to other people. To be blessed is to be oneself a blessing.

  2. Two days ago, a woman asked me to bless her when I met her in the morning, as she was sweeping the church. Later that day, I returned to that church as it was being closed and I met the same woman who then saw my distress. It was her turn then to hug me, and pray over me. What an incredible day this was.
