Young Adult ministrySuggested Reflection Questions:
- The first reading from the Acts of the Apostles describes how the first Christians lived out their faith, sharing everything in common and caring for each other’s needs. How does this description compare with your own experience of how the Christian community acts? In what ways could you better live your life like the first Christians?
- Like the psalm says, when have you been “hard-pressed” and “falling”? Did you feel the Lord’s everlasting love? Give thanks to the Lord for a time like this one.
- When have you felt like Thomas — late to the faith party? When has God given you what you needed to believe?
- At the end of today’s Gospel reading, we hear that “Jesus did many other signs … that are not written in this book.” What do you like to imagine some of those signs might have been?

St Luke
Both the Gospel according to Luke and the Acts of the Apostles are ascribed to Luke the Evangelist. Luke was a physician by trade and the only one of the Gospel writers to be a Gentile (not a Jew). The earliest references to Luke appear in the epistles to Philemon, Colossians, and 2 Timothy, where he is mentioned as a disciple and companion of Paul. Luke wrote for an audience of Gentile Christians, and his work emphasizes Jesus’ mercy and the inclusiveness of his message. Many well-known Gospel passages are unique to Luke’s Gospel, including the parable of the prodigal son, the good thief on the cross, and the infancy narrative centered on Mary. Jesus, in Luke’s Gospel, is especially concerned with “the least of these,” people of little worldly consequence, but very important to God. His feast day is October 18. Youngadultministryinabox.com
