This life therefore is not righteousness, but growth in righteousness, not health, but healing, not being but becoming, not rest but exercise. We are not yet what we shall be, but we are growing toward it, the process is not yet finished, but it is going on, this is not the end, but it is the road. All does not yet gleam in glory, but all is being purified.
Martin LutherHe who hears this name [God] from a Jew must inform the authorities, or else throw sow dung at him when he sees him and chase him away.
Martin LutherNo man should be alone when he opposes Satan. The Church and the ministry of the Word were instituted for this purpose, that hands may be joined together and one may help another.
Martin LutherAngels are our true and trusty servants, performing offices and works that one poor miserable mendicant would be ashamed to do for another.
Martin LutherWhen questioned whether the Blessed will not be saddened by seeing their nearest and dearest tortured answers, "Not in the least."
Martin Luther
