To Dorothea Mackenrod - Martin Luther

TO DOROTHEA MACKENROD, LUTHER’ S SISTER Luther promises a gospel sermon. December 2, 1529.

Dear Sister — I see from your letter to me how earnestly your heavily laden conscience longs for an

Evangelical sermon of consolation, and, if possible, in your own church in Rossla.

I am delighted to hear this, and have made up my mind, in God, to come to you on the approaching Christmas Eve, and to preach, with God’s help, the first gospel sermon at Rossla and upper Rossla as a memorial. Greet your husband and the little Margaretta, to whom I shall bring something with me. I commit you to God. MARTIN LUTHER . (Date doubtful, as it is improbable no gospel sermon had been preached there so late as 1519.)
