"JESUS, MY LORD, I THEE ADORE; HELP ME TO LOVE THEE MORE AND MORE.”

December 14th

The task of the four Evangelists is to help us realize the answer to this prayer. A studied encounter with the Holy Gospel serves this end. As we begin this Advent the “year of Luke, anyone can experience drawing nearer to the Lord, specifically with “a little help” from Saint Luke, through whom Christ uniquely reveals Himself.

You are invited to walk this way, the Lucan way.
