Luke- 10; 1 -9. October 18,2014 FEAST OF ST. LUKE, EVANGELIST Luke was a Gentile. In fact, the only non-Jewish writer in the New Testament. It is also clear that he wrote more mainly for Gentiles. Lukes gospel is especially the gospel of prayer: he shows Jesus very often at prayer. He gives a special place to women. It is above all, a gospel praise He uses the expression praising God more often than all the others put together. This is the vocation of Luke, the disciple and evangelist and for all who are to be missionaries, teachers, preachers, healers those who forgive comfort , bring hope and love , with those who are still wanting for the word of the Lord to come to them in those who believe in Jesus. Luke, the disciples in Jesus time, we are also sent to spread the Good News to people in this reading,the particular Good News to be shared is Peace. To convey this message effectively we need to engage in a dialogue of life with the people to whom we are sent eating and drinking at their table. In our sharing life with them we become instruments of the caring and healing love of God. And our witnessing will be a strong message that the Kingdom of God is at hand.
