02 Jan January 2, 1945

“Darkness shall not frighten us nor distress wear us out; we will go on waiting, watching and praying until the star rises.”

—from Alfred Delp’s Christmas meditation, 1944

After several postponements, the date for Delp’s trial had been fixed at January 9.  He was to be tried with Helmuth von Moltke and three others.

To Marianne Hapig and Marianne Punder:

Is it next week for sure?  Georg has written that Sperr should put his statement in writing.  It has to be this week.  Pray and believe.

All the best to everyone for 1945.
