That is the way in which this mother serves me and us all with her own
body. Really we all ought to be ashamed with all our hearts. For what are all
the maids, servants, masters, mistresses, princes, kings, and monarchs on earth
compared with the Virgin Mary, who was born of royal lineage, and withal became
the mother of God, the noblest woman on earth? After Christ, she is the most
precious jewel in all Christendom. And this noblest woman on earth is to serve
me and us all by bearing this child and giving him to be our own!
Martin Luther
