Luke, a physician and companion of Paul, wrote the third Gospel and the Acts of the Apostles. His Gospel gives us the Annunciation, the Visitation and the Nativity.

Sorrowful Mysteries
First Mystery: The Agony in the Garden
“Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done.”Luke 22:42
In the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus prays in anguish as His Passion approaches. His sweat becomes like drops of blood, and He surrenders Himself wholly to the Father’s will.
Fruit of the mystery: Sorrow for sin · conformity to God’s will
A prayer with Saint Luke
Lord Jesus, you called Saint Luke to carry your Gospel to the world. By the prayers of Saint Luke, help me to hear your word and to share it gladly. Amen.
Hail Mary, full of grace…
