Dante called St. Luke, "The scribe of Christ's gentleness." I can see why. Luke portrays a merciful Jesus. I think I like Luke's account better than the other evangelists, because of this.
I've just finished writing a formation module for the Lay Dominicans, in my province. I was assigned to write on Luke, in June--due September.
....yeah, a little late. But it was much more involved than I expected it to be. I realized (too late) that my approach was a commentary. I actually was writing a commentary on the Gospel of Luke. Gosh! Who do I think I am?
By the time I realized what I was doing, I had too much work committed. I didn't want to waste it; so I continued. But you know what? I like it. It's a simple commentary, and obviously read to be discussed because I break it up into short sections to reflect and discuss.
So what if it's crayon theology? That's where people begin.
