Dear brother!
It is a rainy Sunday at the end of July. Nothing outside is enticing, the cold and damp do not uplift the mood. On such days, one needs to go to the chapel or one must find a small chapel within oneself and in it a small source of light, an eternal lamp that illuminates and warms, even if it is freezing and dark outside. In the last two weeks, we have experienced numerous heavy air raids, of which you are surely aware from the newspapers. With God's help, we have come through this time unscathed...
(Adolf Kajpr SJ /1902–1959/, letter to a fellow brother; Dachau, July 23, 1944)
