09/29/2003 Entry: "Power and weakness"
Just before his execution, Dietrich Bonhoeffer wrote:
Christ helps us, not by virtue of his omnipotence, but by virtue of his weakness and suffering. Only the suffering God can help ... man is summoned to share in God's sufferings at the hands of a godless world.
Replies:
The extreme greatness of Christianity lies in the fact that it does not seek a supernatural remedy for suffering but a supernatural use for it.--Simone Weil, Gravity and Grace

If you see truth in this, I recommend once more the writings of Simone Weil.
