Luke “the beloved physician” of body & soul

Morning: Psalm 103; Ezekiel 47:1-12; Luke 1:1-4  
When my doctor asks me about Mona, or my life in general, she is regarding me wholistically. Today is St. Luke’s Day.  Luke’s Gospel gives “an orderly account” of Jesus’ life.  His Acts of the Apostles describe the early Church.  Luke went on missionary journeys with Paul, who called him “the beloved physician”. Good physicians connect our body’s health with our lives.  The Way of Jesus would have taught Luke that our bodies and our whole being – our physical and spiritual selves – are inseparably bound together.  Luke’s stories invite us to live undivided lives, with body and spirit ‘in sync’.
