St Luke And Our Lady
Lukas~Madonna by Rogier van der Weyden
It is in St Luke's Gospel that we hear the infant narratives recounting the birth and early childhood of Christ. It is the one gospel where we probably hear the most about our Blessed Mother. This is with good reason; Luke most likely heard these stories from Mary herself. So while he may have never met Jesus in person, he heard much about Him from the best source there could be~ Jesus' own Mother.
As we celebrate this great saint's feast day today, let us ask his intercession for the parts of our lives that are still in need of healing, be it physical, emotional or spiritual.
St Luke, physician and evangelist, pray for us.
You can read a little more about St Luke here and more about his artwork of Our Lady here. (Scroll down at this link about a quarter of the way for the story of the Portrait of Mary)

God Bless.
Michael- glad you enjoyed the artwork- I never knew he painted.
Anne- You are welcome but remember, St Luke chose you!
Blessings to you both.
Thanks for your comment on my post today. The passage you left was a strong confirmation to me though you could not have known this. I have no doubt that God inspired you to leave that particular passage.
Glad to hear St Luke has been a household friend. That passage came to me as I was writing the comment.
Thanks and God bless!
