Fr Scott Says: The 18th is normally the Feast of St Luke, evangelist. But this year it is usurped by the
Sunday Solemnity. In his letter to the Colossians, St Paul refers to St Luke as “Luke, the beloved physician” (Col 4:14). Therefore it is believed that St Luke was a doctor who joined St Paul in some of his
travels. He was born a Greek and was a gentile (non-Jew) convert. St Luke wrote one of the four Gospels as well as the Acts of the Apostles. St Luke is the patron saint of doctors. So perhaps this week you
could take a little extra time to pray for all those in the medical field, that they can allow themselves to
be used by God and may always be protectors of life.
