Council of Catholic Men Catechism and Bible Study 2026 A.D. October 14 75 The Apocalypse of Saint John the Apostle Chapter 12 "The vision of the woman clothed with the sun: and of the great dragon her persecutor" Hope; Our Father; What is the sum of our Lord's Prayer? October 18 Feast of Saint Luke the Evangelist In this episode, we walked through Revelation 12 and its dramatic vision of the woman clothed with the sun, the great red dragon, and the battle led by St. Michael. We reflected on the traditional footnote that sees the woman first as the Church and, by allusion, also as Our Blessed Lady. From there, we wrapped up our catechism study on the Lord’s Prayer through St. Peter Canisius, focusing on how the prayer perfectly teaches us both to ask for what is good and to seek deliverance from evil. We also began our reading for the upcoming October 18 feast of St. Luke the Evangelist from Jacobus de Voragine’s The Golden Legend. We explored Luke as physician, evangelist, companion of St. Paul, and careful witness to the life of Christ, along with the rich symbolism of the ox, man, lion, and eagle. The reading drew in voices like St. Jerome, St. Bernard, St. Ambrose, St. Augustine, and Richard of St. Victor to show how Luke’s life, Gospel, and mission have been understood in the Catholic tradition.
