Martin Luther is well known for translating the Bible into the German language so that the German people could hear God's Word in their own language. 

But Luther also took his translating pen to worship. In 1526, he published the Deutsche Messe (the German Mass), which provided a worship service in the German language, which up to that point had only been available in Latin. While Luther did not despise the Latin language (he had also produced a revision of the Latin service three years earlier), the Deutsche Messe gave the German people a way to praise God in their own language.

On September 25 we will observe the Feast of St. Michael and All Angels. The day of St. Michael is September 29, but the topic of angels is fascinating, and it provides a nice turning point for the last part of the church year.
