It is interesting that little is widely known about Martin Luther before he nailed his 95 Theses to the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg, Germany. Luther's career before he was a Reformer was basically twofold. First, after receiving his formal education, Luther was a lawyer. But his promising career as "Martin Luther, esquire" ended when he was riding his horse during a lightning storm through the German countryside and had a near-death experience there. While he was still yet riding, like a good Catholic he was, he cried upon St. Anne for assistance and promised her that if she helped him to survive, he would become a monk. Luther did survive and became an Augustinian monk and was later ordained a priest in the Roman Catholic Church. He was not the star monk in the abbey by any means, and one of the most interesting stories of him as a priest recounts him freezing in terror when he raised the host during his first Mass when he was to say Host Est Meum Corpus ("This is my body"). Overall, he had a promising career as a priest, but his life as a Reformer later took precedence.
