Martin Luther, OSA (meaning he was an Augustinian monk like our friend Bill Mahedy) was a German professor of theology, composer, priest, and a seminal figure in the Protestant Reformation. Born in 1483, he died on this day in 1546

                                                                   Psalm 108:2

Wake 

up, my 

spirit; 

awake, 

lute and harp,

I myself will waken the dawn.

I have held many things in my hands, and I have lost them all; but whatever I have placed in God's hands, that I still possess.  - Martin Luther
