October 18, 2024: Feast of St. Luke

When we commit ourselves to Christ, we follow in a way that calls us to uphold the Gospel message and live out the Good News.  This Good News was proclaimed by angels at the start of the Gospel according to St. Luke.  It led to magnificent praises of God that are part of the Church's Liturgy of the Hours.

It travels far and wide as Jesus sends His disciples out to proclaim the news that the Kingdom of God is at hand.

It is such Good News that God brings healing to all people through the power of His mercy.  He raises them to a new sense of life, like the two disciples who were despondent as they journeyed to Emmaus, and then were in awe when they recognized Jesus in the breaking of the bread.

The Holy Spirit empowered the Church to proclaim what God has given us, as we see in Acts.

We continue this message today as we hear the Good News proclaimed and go forth in the Holy Spirit for our mission to announce the Good News.
