St. Luke ( Evangelist)
October 18Born of a pagan family, St. Luke became a convert to the Christian faith. He accompanied St. Paul on his second missionary journey and was with the apostle during his final imprisonment in Rome. Paul calls him "My dear friend Luke" in one of his epistles. Luke compiled the third Gospel. He describes at length the infancy of Jesus and emphasizes the Lord's prayerfulness and his mercy. The great parable of the Prodigal Son is found in Luke. One tradition says that Luke died at Boeotia, in Greece, at the age of eighty-four. He is patron of painters and physicians. In art he is represented by an ox because he begins his Gospel with the account of the priest Zachary sacrificing in the temple.
Act of entrustment to the Immaculate Heart of Mary Virgin of Fatima, my dearly beloved Mother, I entrust myself today, in a very special way to your Immaculate Heart. By this solemn act, I offer my whole life to you, my heart, my soul, my body and especially my way of living. Guide me along the way that Jesus traced for us: The way of love, of goodness and of sanctity. Help me to flee from sin, evil and from egoism and to resist temptations to violence, to impurity, and to drugs. I promise you to go to confession often and to receive Jesus into my heart as my spiritual food of life, to observe the commandments of God and to walk along the road of love and purity. I want to be a witness of Unity by my great love for the Pope, for my Bishop, and my priests. I love you, o sweetest Mother of mine and I offer you my life for the triumph of your Immaculate Heart in the world.
Amen. Top of Page
