Prayer to St. Luke

Prayer to St. Luke the Evangelist

O St. Luke,
you were chosen to reveal
in preaching and writing
God’s love for the poor.
Moved by the heavenly Spirit of Love,
you detailed the life of Jesus,
showing His divinity and His genuine
compassion for all human beings.
Help those who already glory in God’s name
to persevere in one heart and one mind,
and inspire all people that they may
hear the Good News of Salvation.
Amen.

A very Franciscan idea… 😊

Prayer
Let me taste the pains He offered,
drunk with love for Him who suffered.
May His wounds become my own.
On the day of Christ’s returning
may my heart be lit and burning.
Virgin, aid me at His throne.
May His Cross be interceding
and His death my vict’ry pleading.
May He hold me in His grace.
When my flesh by death is taken,
may my soul to glory waken
and in heaven take a place. Amen.
