St Luke, Evangelist

Almighty God, who inspired your servant Luke the physician to declare in the Gospel the love and healing power of your Son: Graciously continue in your Church the same love and power to heal, to the praise and glory of your Name; through your Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen
(Book of Common Prayer LBW, ELW)

1 Praise the LORD! For it is good to sing praises to our God;
   for it is pleasant, and a song of praise is fitting.
2 The LORD builds up Jerusalem;
   he gathers the outcasts of Israel.
3 He heals the brokenhearted
   and binds up their wounds.
4 He determines the number of the stars;
   he gives to all of them their names.
5 Great is our Lord, and abundant in power;
   his understanding is beyond measure.
6 The LORD lifts up the humble;
   he casts the wicked to the ground.
Psalm 147 – English Standard Version
