A man must completely despair of himself in order to become fit to obtain the grace of Christ.
Martin LutherHere is the truly Christian life, here is faith really working by love, when a man applies himself with joy and love to the works of that freest servitude in which he serves others voluntarily and for nought, himself abundantly satisfied in the fulness and riches of his own faith.
Martin LutherChristians fight best on their knees. Whatever good may be done is done and brought about by prayer.
Martin Luther
