Can I Get A Little Help From The Higher-Ups, Please?

As a product of my Sicilian mother whom is also a Roman Catholic, I grew up going to a Catholic church, confiding in Mother Mary and the Patron Saints. Securing their support is not a dependency that I have on believing that I am excused from all Evil, but rather an attitude of "Hey, the more the merrier" and "Any help I can get from the higher ups is definitely a good thing." From time to time, my Mom and I visit her hometown where we usually hit up one of the local Catholic stores with my Aunts and cousins and see which Saint the time is calling for. Well, today the times call for St. Luke, Patron Saint of Physicians.

St. Luke was actually considered one of the first Christian Physicians and known for his extensive writing in the New Testament of the Bible as well as for writing the Acts of the Apostles. The title of Patron Saint is usually given to someone who is holy and virtuous and considered to be a defender of a specific group of people. As he is referred to as the "Beloved Physician" in Colossians 4:14, he teaches of the compassion of Jesus to the poor and suffering.  The following prayer is often said to St. Luke:

Most charming and saintly Physician, you were animated by the heavenly Spirit of Love. In faithfully detailing the humanity of Jesus, you also showed his divinity and his genuine compassion for all human beings. Inspire our physicians with your professionalism and with the divine compassion for their patients. Enable them to cure the ills of both body and spirit that afflict so many in our day. Amen.

Praying for all heavenly forces on my side. :)
