Reading Bonhoeffer’s Letters and Papers from Prison, vol 8 in DB Works/English. I find it too painful to read for long stretches; also, like the psalms, it sinks more deeply into consciousness if you read a little at a time.
You discover the less confident man in letters to his friend and biographer Eberhard Bethge. In these letters he speaks of being unable to catch his breath, reciting hymns and scripture to gain composure; of suicidal thoughts, once; of sexual longings, although this discussion is highly intellectualized; of being tempted to sleep late, rather than rise on schedule, do calisthenics, and write.
Throughout the world there remain prisoners of conscience. I pray for them. I pray for their release. I pray for a better world.
