Sermon for Commemoration of Katharina Von Bora Luther, Advent 3 Midweek
Today’s saint to end our advent midweek services is a little different. In comparison to Nicholas and Lucia who lived in the 300s AD, Katharina Von Bora Luther is almost modern, dying on this day in 1552. She is not classically regarded as a saint, but is a saint both in the sense that all who have faith in Christ are saints, and she is an example of a godly woman. If as the Augsburg Confession says we remember the saints in order to emulate their virtues by their faith in Christ, then Kate Luther is a good one to remember.
