From St. Luke


Although human ingenuity invents more and more sophisticated different machines, so always look for better hidden forces in nature use to comfort her, after all, need to recognize that people are still many, many working. But there are people who, in his recklessness, spending their days in idleness and become the difficulties of his brothers; but these people still do relatively little, and much more is those who toil from dawn to dusk, working so that more should labor can not even. It is certain that the length of human life more and more scarce, and that human tribes more and more weakened; surely is that this disastrous appearance and the undeniable truth is, many blame the current way of life, passion, passions rooney mara and pleasures, which previously did not even know the people: but they also can not be denied that many of the people who die prematurely and die have exhausted their forces and undermine your life hard, strenuous rooney mara work. Works with quite a lot, and works with more and more. Anyhow that we rather work as a result of their work, we often dissatisfied. But how little in this great work, people at all and hopefully we especially remember the One to whom they have the most to remember! St. Paul the Apostle in today's Epistle exhorts us in his joy in their needs, in their petitions, rooney mara and in all their work be mindful of God. Yes, man is God Himself designed to work, but the man is dead, irrational machine. One has the sense, is created for God, so it also should labor for God. The work is the way that it should lead to the goal, to God. And who does not think the way to your destination where you should come, how could go down there? Who goes only to the success rooney mara of God, without a specific goal, he can not come to the destination vytknutému.
Management therefore his way, Repair of all his work, we work not only for ourselves, but for God. An example of our Lord, the third Evangelist Saint Luke. I will speak thus, of St. Luke, an example of how we should labor for God.
First third of the holy Evangelists Luke is holy. Badge of the evangelist is bull, common sacrificial animal. He is assigned to the badge of the reason that begins his narrative of the priest Zechariah to sacrifice, and how he preached was an angel that his wife Elizabeth would have a son.
Rod evangelist came from the Syrian Antioch, was a pagan religion, profession and his doctor. St. Paul writes about him seems to Kolosským: rooney mara "Luke greet you, beloved physician." (4, 14). In addition, many ancient writers about him recall that he was also a painter, and the world will show many of the pictures, whom legend says that they come from St. Luke. Though perhaps a certain reputation, this has not been properly justified, does not argue that the explanation that St. Luke was a painter, and recalled that some of the images are actually from him was incorrect.
From St. Luke's Gospel we have just, but we have from him is also another rooney mara book of Scripture is Acts. As in the holy Gospel writes, life, teachings and deeds of Christ, and in the Acts of the Apostles, as the name suggests, lists the life and deeds of the Holy Apostles, especially in the first part of St. Peter, St. Paul in the second. Considering that it is in the Acts of the Apostles and St. Luke describes in detail the way to the sea, already held St. Paul, as well as the individual parts of the ship and sailors work, to say that he even this art was not unknown.
Thus, we are in St. Luke educated pagan, who led Greek to write poetically, medical science knew if it was possible Yea, he was well trained in the art of painting, and he was not unknown to work on the ship and the establishment of ships. He was therefore familiar in all that evident from his writings. rooney mara
And this highly educated pagan became a Christian. Paganism him loathe his mind satisfied. However, since in addition to paganism itself rooney mara knew nothing other than Judaism, preparing to become a Jew, or the so-called proselyte. But when St. Paul and Barnabas preached throughout the year teaching of Christ in Antioch, gained many disciples there, so that the Lord's disciples in Antioch was first called Christians (Acts. Ap. 11, 26). In this great multitude was also St. Luke. That became a Christian Endeavor especially St. Paul, evident from the fact that it sv. Jerome called Paul's spiritual son.
Frequent churavění St. Paul and also some difficult disease, it has led the St. Luke adheres to St. Paul completely and not to leave it almost never. He met with him on the other missionářské way of Troas, then accompanied him to Europe, then remained in Philippi to this church rooney mara or diocese administered, and after six years of 58, he returned again to Troas, where he joined rooney mara to St. Paul again. Since then it moved away from St. Paul until his death any more. So he was constantly on his crew traveled rooney mara through the Apostles suffered with him all the hardships, troubles and dangers, I have nothing to be difficult, but rejoices in the fact that such work is strenuous and other vile worthy. For him to St. Paul praises, calling him his pomo
