Download or read book Praying Your Way through Luke s Gospel and the Acts of the Apostles written by Mark G. Boyer and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2015-09-24 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prayer, the raising of the heart to God, is the heart of the Christian life. For the author of Luke's Gospel and the Acts of the Apostles, prayer is the habit of being in the presence of God. One of the primary ways Jesus is characterized in Luke's Gospel is that of a pray-er. Likewise in the Acts of the Apostles, the apostles are portrayed being in God's presence. Prayer is the topic of this book; it highlights the passages where Jesus is found praying in the Gospel and where the apostles are found praying in the Acts. From the example Jesus gives in Luke's Gospel, and from the example the apostles give in the Acts of the Apostles, the reader concludes that prayer should be a part of the life of any Christian. If Jesus himself prayed--spoke and listened to God--then how can his followers do any less? This book can be used during the Advent-Christmas Season, the Lenten Season, the Easter Season, and at any time one wants to hone his or her praying skills. This book is especially useful during the period of post-baptismal catechesis for those in the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults with its focus on spiritual growth through prayer.

Download or read book Seven Days with the Gospel of Luke written by Joseph G. Donders and published by Twenty-Third Publications. This book was released on 2005 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seven Days with the Gospel of Luke provides for a retreat of seven days, offering suggestions for reflection and meditation. The retreat is based on the spiritual dynamics found in Luke's gospel. On this retreat we want to know Jesus as Luke came to know him, to see him as Luke did. Luke was a physician who saw not only the personal ills of the people who figure in his gospel, but also the spiritual ills of the time. He saw hope come into the world in the person of Jesus. Each meditation on Luke's gospel concludes with questions for reflection, as well as a suggested prayer and action response to help bring the reflection to life. Father Donder's book can also serve as a study guide for those who wish to delve more deeply into the gospel of Luke. May your seven days with the gospel of Luke draw you closer to Jesus.

Download or read book Come and See The Gospel of Luke written by Fr. Joseph Ponessa and published by Emmaus Road Publishing. This book was released on 2015-07-01 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Gospel of Luke may be very familiar to you. You have probably heard the Nativity story every Christmas since your childhood. Most of what we learn and cherish about the infancy and childhood of Jesus comes from Luke, probably through his research and interviews with the Blessed Mother Mary. Most people, even non-Christians, recognize the parable of the Prodigal Son. There is so much more! The Gospel of Luke begins and ends in the temple. The Blessed Trinity emerges clearly. The Holy Spirit is referenced more than a dozen times. All of the Joyful Mysteries of the Rosary can be found in Luke’s first two chapters. Prayer and joy permeate the Gospel of Luke. One of the most interesting features of Luke’s Gospel involves his treatment of women. Luke enjoyed a privileged liberal education, enabling him to write in elegant Greek. May God surprise you with joy as you study and delve deeper into this Gospel of Luke.

Download or read book Prayer and Vindication in Luke Acts written by Geir O. Holmas and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2011-03-17 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a comprehensive study of the literary function of prayer in Luke-Acts, employing narrative critical methodology and focusing on the theme's relation to Luke's historiographical aims Holmas asserts that the distribution of strategically-placed prayer notices and prayers throughout Luke-Acts serves a twofold purpose. First, it is integral to Luke's project of authenticating the Jesus-movement as accredited by Israel's God. Holmas shows that Luke presents a consistent pattern of divine affirmation and redemptionm attending the tenacious prayers of the faithful ones throughout every major phase of his narrative - in turn demonstrating continuity with the pious Israel of the past. Secondly, most importantly the 'ultimate' purpose of Luke's emphasis on prayer is didactical. In Luke's gospel Jesus summons his disciples (and implicitly his readers) to confident and persistent prayer before the Eschaton, assuring them of God's readiness to answer their entreaties. Luke's historical account as a whole provides narrative reinforcement of this affirmation. Just as God has been consistent in responding to the diligent prayers of his faithful ones in recent history, satisfying and fulfilling Israel's hopes for redemption in the Jesus movement, he will assuredly secure ultimate vindication at the end of time for those who persist in prayer.
