Almighty God, who inspired your servant Luke the physician to set forth in the Gospel the love and healing power of your Son: Graciously continue in your Church this love and power to heal, to the praise and glory of your Name; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

Evening prayer on the Feast Day of St. Luke the Physician, author of the Gospel of Luke and the Acts of the Apostles. Having spent the entire day at two doctor offices, having suffered a relapse after bible study last night of this horrible stomach bug, I needed this prayer as a reminder of the healing power, and love, of Christ. And lo and behold, tonight I ate real food for the first time since Sunday!

Baby steps. Y’all keep praying the offices, we will continue class this Sunday and dig in a bit deeper. See ya in church.
