Additionally, St. Luke is the patron saint of artists. You can seek his intercession if you are an artist, or you can ask him to pray for another artist.

You can pray the St. Luke Novena for any intention!

Dear Lord, we thank You for giving us St. Luke as an example of holiness. Help us to imitate the devotion to You he showed in his writings about Your Blessed Mother.

St. Luke, your Gospel tells us many things about the Blessed Virgin Mary. Through your writings about Mary, countless Christians have been able to grow in their love for Mary and for God throughout the centuries.

Please bring my petitions before Christ Whose Blessed Mother you wrote of!

Though you probably did not know Mary in person, you came to love her and revere her. The stories in your Gospel show that you knew how important devotion to Mary is.

Pray for me, that I may grow in my devotion to Mary each day. Pray that I may always turn to Mary as a Mother.
