FAITHLINK: “MESSAGE OF JOHN PAUL II TO THE ARCHBISHOP OF PADUA FOR THE FEAST OF THE EVANGELIST LUKE” – Vatican.va 10.15.00
“… As a minister of God’s Word (cf. Lk 1: 2), Luke leads us to knowledge of the discreet yet penetrating light that radiates from it, while illustrating the reality and events of history. The theme of the Word of God, the golden thread woven through the two works that comprise Luke’s writing, also unites the two periods treated by him: the time of Jesus and that of the Church. As if narrating the “history of the Word of God”, Luke’s story follows its advance from the Holy Land to the ends of the earth. The journey proposed by the third Gospel is profoundly marked by listening to this Word which, like a seed, must be received with goodness and promptness of heart, overcoming the obstacles that prevent it from taking root and bearing fruit (cf. Lk 8: 4-15). …”

“The Lord Jesus appointed seventy-two disciples whom he sent ahead of him in pairs
to every town and place he intended to visit. He said to them, ‘The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few; so ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers for his harvest. Go on your way; behold, I am sending you like lambs among wolves. Carry no money bag, no sack, no sandals; and greet no one along the way. Into whatever house you enter, first say, “Peace to this household.” If a peaceful person lives there, your peace will rest on him; … cure the sick in it and say to them, “The Kingdom of God is at hand for you.”‘
