Modern saints in St. Alban’s Cathedral (Dietrich Bonhoeffer on the far right)

Eighty years ago today
a German pastor passed away,
but not before he gave us words
to keep our faith alive.

At thirty-nine, young Dietrich died
as Nazi soldiers (filled with pride)
snuffed out his flame
but not his hope
that God always prevails!

So as we contemplate this man
whose legacy cannot be banned,
our life together is enriched
by following his lead.

“When Christ calls a man, He bids him come and die!” -Dietrich Bonhoeffer
