Luke opens his Gospel by addressing a person named Theophilus, meaning one whom God loves, and explaining that he intends to present the full story of Jesus. That’s a pretty bold undertaking! And it seems like something we should really pay attention to… which is precisely what we are doing through this bible study podcast! But listening is only the beginning! Yes, we have to listen but we also have to believe what we hear, live what we believe, and share that knowledge with others. So, let’s begin!

Gospel – Luke 1: 1-4; 4: 14-21
1st Reading – Nehemiah 8: 2-4a, 5-6, 8-10
