Old Lutheran Quote of the Day

Behold, Christ, Your Savior. In the agony of His bitter passion He lays His own will on the altar as a most pleasing sacrifice to God; and so you too offer up your own will to God, and you will accomplish that which Christ requires of you as a disciple, the denial of your own self. May Your holy will, O Lord, be done on earth as it is in heaven! -- Johann Gerhard, *Sacred Meditations XXXI*
