EASTER SNOW—“though you sins are like scarlet, they shall be white as snow” (Isaiah 1:18)

If my neighbor needs me however I shall not avoid place or person . . . but will go freely as stated above. See this is such a God-fearing faith because it is neither brash nor foolhardy and does not tempt God." (Luther)

If God should wish to take me, he will surely find me and I have done what he has expected of me and so I am not responsible for either my own death or the death of others. . . (Luther)

I shall avoid places and persons where my presence is not needed in order not to become contaminated and thus perchance inflict and pollute others and so cause their death as a result of my negligence. . . (Luther)

Words of Martin Luther during the bubonic plague of 1527: “I shall ask God mercifully to protect us. Then I shall fumigate, help purify the air, administer medicine and take it. I shall avoid places and persons . . .
