Ordinary Time
Feast of Saint Luke the Evangelist
Brothers and sisters,
Of the four gospels, it is Saint Luke’s account of the Good News that is said to be most vivid. Luke goes to greater lengths to set the scene in the narrative – certainly when compared to the brevity of Mark. It is for this reason that he is often depicted in iconography as being an icon painter (or writer) himself; bringing the story of the gospel to life in technicolour.
However, it is believed that Luke was a doctor by profession. There are a number of clues to this in his choice of words. But the biggest hint comes in the way Luke does not so readily distinguish between spiritual restoration and physical healing. This may be a literary device employed by this imaginative writer. Nonetheless, Luke reminds us that salvation - healing and wholeness – are offered to us in mind, body and soul. Such is the healing and restorative power of the Good News of Jesus Christ.
Every blessing,
Fr Myles
Rector
