Cardinal George Pells Contemplating Christ with Luke comprises a series of reflections on a years Sunday readings from the Gospel of St. Luke. In his typical down-to-earth, accessible style, Cardinal Pell uses contemporary events and landmarks to enrich our appreciation of the Gospels spiritual messages. As Cardinal Pell notes in his informative introduction, St. Lukes Gospel is especially appealing: Luke is a polished story teller, more eloquent than the other gospel writers, even if he is less dramatic than St. John at his best. We must be grateful, as St. Ambrose, the Archbishop of Milan in the second half of the fourth century pointed out, because St. Luke told us more about Our Lords wonderful works than the other Evangelists. Contemplating Christ with Luke is beautifully illustrated throughout with modern iconic paintings by Francisco (Kiko) Argello, cofounder of the Neo-Catechumenal Way and each brief self-contained chapter would be an ideal springboard for planning homilies or classroom lessons.

INTRODUCTION
W hen I was putting together my thoughts on the Sunday readings from Lukes gospel a close friend remarked spontaneously, Lukes is a beautiful gospel.
Generally our translations of the gospels are written in better English than the original Greek, especially of Matthew and Mark, even though we do not have one commonly accepted favourite New Testament translation, unlike the single new translation of the Roman Missal, to replace the much admired King James Version of the Anglicans, published in 1611 and enormously influential in the development of the English language. It was written to be proclaimed, a surprising masterpiece given that there were fifty four translators, Anglicans and Puritans, bishops and scholars.
All the New Testament is written in Greek, not Latin as some of us wrongly supposed and Lukes Greek is the best according to the experts.
As a Gentile, not Jewish, and probably one of the first Christian converts in Antioch, Greek would have been Lukes first or second language. Greek was then the common language around the Eastern Mediterranean areas, somewhat as English is today in many parts of the world and Luke wrote it stylishly.
This gospel has been popular across the centuries and in every continent and has not been captured by any one denomination. One could say its appeal is ecumenical.
St. Jerome, who translated the Bible into Latin late in the fourth century, described Luke as a physician from Antioch, a man familiar with the Greek language, as can be seen from his writings, a follower of the apostle Paul and his companion on his journeys.
Our principal source of history for the early Church is the Acts of the Apostles, also written by Luke and the words of both these works, following St. Jerome once again, act as medicine for the ailing soul. The historian Eusebius, also from the fourth century, wrote along the same lines, that they were two medical books to heal not our bodies, but our souls.
