Happy Feast of St Luke

We celebrate the feast of St Luke, "the beloved physician" (from Colossians 4:14) on October 18th.  This is a big feast day in our home because not only is he the name sake for our son Luke, but he is also the confirmation saint for my husband (and also the patron saint for physicians).  We have the above St. Luke wall hanging statue hanging outside of my husband's office at home as a special reminder and prayer over all that my husband does as a physician!

Our Luke

 

St. Luke has also been thought to have been a painter so it was kind of fun to give our Luke a gift of the Wee Artist Color and Hug Jesus!  It is doing simple little things for each child on their name feast day that makes the day very special for them and also teaches them a little bit more about different Saints!

 

Also, we try to use the feast of St. Luke to thank physicians in our lives, including my husband!  He has made a lot of sacrifices and works very hard for our family to have all of the blessings that we do.  Beyond that, he truly has been called to his vocation as a physician and has blessed so many people within our community.  All of our boys look up to him so much and all that he does to "help the people"!

 

Here's a flash back to the past (to before I started blogging) to when we celebrated St. Luke's feast day in 2014!  That year we gave our little 1 year old Luke the fantastic board book called The Saints Are Watching Over Me and the Tiny Saints St. Luke!  It is still one of our family favorites for religious books for little ones!

 

 

St. Luke, pray for us!
