Blessed Are Those Who Hunger and Thirst for Righteousness: Martin Luther

Martin Luther was a tormented soul. He practiced self-harm for religious purposes because he thought he had to stop sinning in order to be acceptable to God. He punished his body by sleeping on the bare floor of his room, without blankets, even in the bone-chilling cold of German winter. And sometimes he would lie out in the snow for long periods.  He fasted to the point of emaciation and he would beat himself with a whip. He began every day before 2 AM and prayed seven times a day.  Martin was looking for something that all of us, even in our modern world, are looking for.
