Sent to liberate the heart and soul LUKE 1:1–4, 4:14–21
In today’s Gospel, we are presented, first, with the opening of the Gospel of St Luke, where St Luke explains to us that he seeks to give an account of the life of Jesus Christ. We know that St Luke was a physician and a disciple of St Paul and that he also wrote the book of the ‘Acts of the Apostles’.
As Catholics, it is very important that we read and reflect upon Sacred Scripture, so that we can come to a deeper understanding of God’s covenantal relationship with His people, a relationship that comes to its fulfilment in Jesus Christ, the Word of God in the flesh.
