Lord our God, who chose the physician Luke to reveal by preaching and writing the mystery of your love for the poor, grant that those who already glory in your name may be one in heart and mind (mention your request). Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever. Amen.
