New Lutheran Quote of the Day

Torn from the heights of dominion and growth and life, and cast down into the lowliness of decline and submission and mortality, man can only stammer, 'Forgive us our trespasses.' Whether he will receive an answer to his prayer is a matter quite beyond his own control. -- Adolf Köberle, *The Quest for Holiness* (p. 28)
