Dear brother!
It is Sunday morning again, I am sitting here and preparing to write to you. What to write? That I am, thanks to God, still healthy in body and soul, that I continue to look forward to the future when, with God's help, I will once again proclaim His glory and His love. My inner life here is certainly no less intense than before; rather, the opposite is true. Just as a plant torn from its native soil, yet still alive, grabs hold of new ground with even more vigor, so I delve not into new soil, but into the old, ancient foundation of all true life, into God, who is still within us, yet from whom we are distracted by the noise of ordinary, comfortable living…
(Adolf Kajpr SJ /1902–1959/, letter to a fellow brother; Dachau, January 14, 1945)
