was poured upon Thy lips, O

Luke, by the Fiery Tongue, which
made Thee a Tongue of Fire; for
when Thou preached, Thou sent
forth Words of Light to those who
were worthy of Light, and to those
who preferred Darkness, Thou sent
Balls of Fire by Thy Teaching and
writing of the Gospel. And, as Thine
own Teacher, Paul, had said, thou
became the Fragrance of Life to
those who truly want Life, while for
those who prefer Death, Thou art the
Fragrance of Death. But to us who
extol Thee, grant us Peace, and Life,
and Light, and Great Mercy.
His
Proclamation went forth into all

the Earth, and His Words to the

things that were accomplished,
inasmuch as Thou undertood to
write down a God Inspired Account

to Thee by those hwo from the

Word. Thou art their Equal and their
Peer, as a Minister of the Incarnation
of God the Eternal Word. After His
Resurrection from the dead, Thou
beheld Him, and ate with Him, when
in Emmaus with Cleophas, saying
Thy heart burnt within! O Luke, we

Divine Heat, as we now honour Thee.
