Depression

On one occasion when Martin was extremely depressed and indifferent to encouragement, Katharine donned mourning attire. Her husband asked her, “Katharine, why are you dressed in mourning black?” “Someone has died,” she replied. “Died?” said Luther. “I have not heard of anyone dying. Whoever can have died?”

“It seems,” his wife replied, “that God must have died!”
