St. Luke was a Gentile doctor (Colossians 4:14) and a companion of St. Paul. He gives us the most detail about Jesus' childhood (Infancy Narratives). Why? Because he interviewed Mary.
The Gospel of Mercy
Luke's Gospel focuses on the poor, women, and sinners. Only Luke tells us the parables of:
- The Good Samaritan
- The Prodigal Son
- Factors of the Lost Sheep/Coin
The Artist
Legend says Luke was a painter. The famous icon of Salus Populi Romani (which Pope Francis visits before every trip) is attributed to him. Whether he used a brush or not, he certainly painted a portrait of Mary with words (The Magnificat).
