Prayer to St. Luke

O glorious St. Luke,
 beloved physician and Evangelist,
 you revealed Christ as healer, friend of the poor,
 and messenger of the Father’s mercy.

Through your Gospel we hear the Magnificat,
 the mercy of the Good Samaritan,
 and the joy of the Prodigal’s return.
 Pray for us, that we may live with compassion,
 bring peace to the suffering,
 and proclaim the Kingdom with courage.

Guide all who heal, all who serve,
 and all who witness to Christ in the world.
 May we, like you, use our gifts for God’s glory,
 through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

St. Luke, faithful servant of the Word,
 intercede for us,
 that we may follow Christ with steadfast hearts
 and rejoice forever in His presence. Amen.
