Our Debt to Saint Luke

Salus Populi Romani
Attributed to Saint Luke

The "Hail Mary" (in its essence)
Magnificat
Benedictus
Nunc dimittis

Just to name a few giants among the texts which he uniquely recorded and/or composed for posterity, by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit.

To him also we owe the accounts of the Annunciations of John the Baptist and of Christ, The Visitation, the Presentation of the Child in the Temple.

Saint Luke, pray for us.

χαῖρε, κεχαριτωμένη Μαρία
