Old Lutheran Quote of the Day

Adam was shaped by God's hand from pure, virgin earth unsullied by the blood of a man.  O Lord Jesus, You were conceived by the Holy Spirit, under Mary's chaste, virgin heart unmarred by impurity, unstained by intercourse with man, that by Your holy conception my sinful conception might be sanctified. -- Valerius Herberger, On the Great Works of God, p. 161.
