Feast of St Luke

St Luke and the message of the Good Samaritan

Loving Father,
You call us to love You with all our heart and to love our neighbour as ourselves.
Help us to see all people as our neighbours,
especially those in need, like the Good Samaritan saw the wounded man.

Through the example of St. Luke, the Evangelist,
who shared the Gospel of Your mercy and care,
teach us to act with compassion for those who suffer,
offering our time, our gifts, and our hearts
to heal and uplift them.

May we never pass by on the other side,
but always be moved by love to care for others,
no matter their background or difference to us.
Help us to be true neighbours, showing mercy and kindness,
and reflecting Your boundless love.

With many minds and one heart,
may we live out the command to love and serve,
bringing healing and hope to a broken world,
And uniting all people in one message of love.
We ask this through Christ, our Lord,
Amen.
