To Katherine, Luther’s wife letter 11 - Martin Luther

TO KATHERINE, LUTHER’ S WIFE

On the same day Luther wrote to Melanchthon, who was left at home because of his health. About riches being called thorns.

February 6, 1546.

To the deeply learned lady, Katherine Luther, my gracious consort at Wittenberg, grace and peace! Dear Kathie — We sit here in martyrdom, longing to be away, but I fancy that cannot be for eight days. Ask M. Philip to correct his exposition, for he does not seem to understand why the Lord calls

riches thorns. This is the school in which to learn that. But it is disagreeable to me that the thorns should always be threatened with fire in the Scriptures; therefore I should be the more patient in order, with God’s help, to be able to achieve something good. Thy sons are still at Mansfeld.

We have enough to eat and drink, and would otherwise have a very good time if this troublesome business were only at an end. It seems as if the devil were mocking us, but God will requite him with the same. Amen.

Pray for us. The messenger is impatient. MARTIN LUTHER . (De Wette.)
