Last year, during 'Year C' we focused on Luke's Gospel. Luke the Evangelist is writing some 30 to 40 years after Jesus' death and resurrection and concentrates on the mission of Jesus to the poor and outcast. Luke's is the gospel of Parables - the Prodigal Son, the Good Samaritan, the Kingdom of Heaven Parables. Luke reminds us that the message of Jesus is for all people in all times.
