Let God’s power fill your emptiness: It restores you with healing strength.

Raised from Nothing

Assumption

Belonging is never a rigid, formal status or a mere administrative act, but a deeply shared, living focus on what truly matters. Together, we support and faithfully accompany one another on this spiritual journey. In fellowship, through mutual listening and remembering, we help each other time and again to turn away from restless striving and doing, opening ourselves instead to the quiet, receptive acceptance of the divine presence.

Sanctification

Sanctification is not a human achievement project or a moral goal to be reached through our own effort. Instead, it is God’s perfected reality within us: Because God is holy in His essence and irrevocably sanctifies us as His own in Christ, we receive holiness as a pure, unmerited gift. It is a bestowed way of being and a profound reality of life that always mercifully precedes all our own struggling, striving, and doing.

Community

A spiritual place of arrival that consciously escapes the restless utilitarian logic of our world. The movement offers everyone a safe space to breathe deeply, far from constant demands, and finally lay down their burdens. Here, we can rely on that unmerited, prevenient grace that requires absolutely nothing in return. In this unconditional acceptance by God, we find an inner peace that sustains us and makes us feel truly at home.

Sanctifying Daily Life

Acceptance instead of performance

Sanctification is not achieved through the flawless fulfillment of duties or spiritual self-optimization, but rather through the receptive acceptance of unmerited grace. It is not your performance that sanctifies daily life, but your willingness in all your limitations and needs to let yourself be carried by God. “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God not by works, so that no one can boast.” (Ephesians 2:8–9)

Strength in Weakness

The primary locus of sanctification is not the halo of heroic willpower, but rather human powerlessness. Where one’s own resources, concepts, and securities reach their limits, space opens up for the true efficacy of God: His faithfulness reveals itself within the abyss. “But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for power is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore, I will all the more gladly boast of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. […] For when I am weak, then I am strong.” (2 Cor 12:9–10)

The Present in Fragments

God does not encounter you in a day’s work brought to flawless completion, but rather in the midst of what remains fragmentary. Sudden interruptions, illness, exhaustion, and tasks left unfinished are not setbacks on the path to sanctification; instead, they are sacred gateways through which the delusion of "making things happen" begins to dissolve. "But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, to show that the transcendent power belongs to God and not to us." (2 Corinthians 4:7)

Mercy as a Fruit of Grace

True sanctification never leads to moral harshness, legalism, or condemnation. It shatters the pride of the devout: only those who have unsparingly acknowledged their own vulnerability and guilt before God can encounter a fellow human being who is weak—without any sense of superiority, but rather with compassionate love. “I desire mercy, not sacrifice.” (Matthew 9:13)
