Luther

• “If a woman becomes weary and at last dead from bearing, that matters not; let her only die from bearing, she is there to do it.”

• “The veneration of Mary is inscribed in the very depths of the human heart.”

• “A person must take care to exercise moderate discipline over the body and subject it to the Spirit by means of fasting, vigils, and labor. The goal is to have the body obey and conform — and not hinder — the inner person and faith. Unless it is held in check, we know it is the nature of the body to undermine faith and the inner person.”

• “As to why some are touched by the law and others not, so that some receive and others scorn the offer of grace...[this is the] hidden will of God, Who, according to His own counsel, ordains such persons as He wills to receive and partake of the mercy preached and offered.”

• “Mother love is stronger than the filth and scabbiness on a child, and so the love of God toward us is stronger than the dirt that clings to us.”

• “the human being, corrupted to the root, can neither desire nor perform anything but evil.”
