Luther’s Invocavit Sermons

The first Sunday in Lent, Invocavit, is March 6, 2022. Almost exactly 500 years earlier, Martin Luther mounted the pulpit in Wittenberg for the first time since he had said “Here I stand” at the Diet of Worms over 10 months earlier.

He did so on Invocavit Sunday, March 9, 1522. On that day, and the seven days following, Luther delivered a series of sermons in which he pastorally told the Christians of Wittenberg how the Reformation was to be implemented in their midst. There is still much to be learned from these sermons today.
