Martin Luther on Praying Together

Note: Throughout the month of October, leading up to the 500^th anniversary of the legendary date of the outbreak of the Reformation on October 31, 1517, Pray Tell is publishing writings of Martin Luther reflecting his beliefs on worship and church reform at various points in his life.

And here the advantage is that when Christians thus come together their prayers are twice as strong as otherwise.  One can a one really should pray in every place and every hour; but prayer is nowhere so mighty and strong as when the whole multitude prays together.

(Sermon at the dedication of the Castle Church in Torgau)
