聖路加(聖史)
路加生於外教家庭,相傳是安提約基亞城的醫生。皈依後,追隨保祿傳教(哥4:14)。保祿在書信中,三次提及他(哥4:14;弟後4:11;費24)。《宗徒大事錄》也記載了路加參與保祿的傳教旅程(宗16:10-17; 20:5 -21:18; 27:1-8:16)。
後來,保祿被捕,解往羅馬,路加也一直跟隨保祿,直到保祿殉道。路加參照保祿的宣講,為了向外邦人傳福音,撰寫第三部福音。
路加又撰寫《宗徒大事錄》,記錄初期教會生活,以及報導宗徒在聖神引導下,把福音由耶路撒冷傳到地極(參宗1:8)。相傳路加在保祿殉道後,奔走各地傳教,終在希臘殉道。
集禱經
上主、天主,你揀選了聖路加,以宣講和著作,揭示了你對窮苦人的慈愛計劃;求你使你聖名而得到光榮的人,都能一心一意,堅守信仰,並使各民各族,都能享見你的救恩。因你的聖子、我們的主耶穌基督,他和你及聖神,是唯一天主,永生永王。亞孟。
Saint Luke, Evangelist
A physician from Antioch, he converted to Christianity and accompanied Paul on two of his journeys. The author of both the third Gospel and the Acts of the Apostles, Luke devotes attention to Christ’s birth and childhood as well as to the universality of the Redemption.
Collect
Lord God, who chose Saint Luke
to reveal by his preaching and writings
the mystery of your love for the poor,
grant that those who already glory in your name
may persevere as one heart and one soul
and that all nations may merit to see your salvation.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
