St Luke the Evangelist (transferred from yesterday because the Episcopal Church rarely celebrates individual saints on a Sunday)

                                                                  The Te deum laudamus

We 

be-

lieve 

that 

you 

will  

come 

and be 

our judge.

Come, then Lord, 

and help your people

bought with the price of your precious blood

and  bring us with your saints to glory everlasting. 

St Luke,

the patron saint 

of physicians, artists, surgeons, students & butchers. His symbol is 

the ox, an animal of sacri-f

ice, because his Gospel emphasizes the atone-

ment  made by Christ’s

                     sacrifice of himself on the cross.

                 Graciously 

                  continue in

                  your Church 

                  this  love & 

                 power to heal    

                        -    Collect
