Today is St Luke's Day - St Luke is the patron saint of physicians and artists, two vocations that have brought many benefits into the world. He is believed to have been a close friend of St Paul's and to have written St Luke's Gospel.

Join with us in prayer as we mark the Feast Day of St Luke the Evangelist. 🙏
Today's prayer is available in plain text and audio formats at cofe.io/TodaysPrayer.

ALT Almighty God, you called Luke the physician, whose praise is in the gospel, to be an evangelist and physician of the soul: by the grace of the Spirit and through the wholesome medicine of the gospel, give your Church the same love and power to heal; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
