Saint Therese of the Child Jesus, Doctor of the Church
First Reading: Baruch 4: 5-12, 27-29
Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 69: 33-35, 36-37
Holy Gospel: Luke 10: 17-24
Holy Gospel:
17 The seventy-two disciples returned full of joy. They said, “Lord, even the demons obeyed us when we called on your name.” 18 Then Jesus replied, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. 19 You see, I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the Enemy, so that nothing will harm you. 20 Nevertheless, don’t rejoice because the evil spirits submit to you; rejoice rather that your names are written in heaven.”
21 At that time Jesus was filled with the joy of the Holy Spirit and said, “I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, for you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and made them known to the little ones. 22 Yes, Father, such has been your gracious will. I have been given all things by my Father, so that no one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and he to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.”
23 Then Jesus turned to his disciples and said to them privately, “Fortunate are you to see what you see, 24 for I tell you that many prophets and kings would have liked to see what you see but did not, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it.”
First Reading:
5 Take courage, my people, you who preserve the memory of Israel. 6 You have been sold to the nations but not for your destruction; because you had aroused the anger of God, you were delivered to your enemies. 7 For you displeased your Creator in sacrificing to demons and not to God. 8 You have forgotten the Eternal God, the one who nourished you. You have filled Jerusalem with sadness, she who brought you up. 9 For she saw the anger of God fall on you and she said, “Listen, you neighboring cities of Zion, God has sent me a great sorrow. 10 I have seen the captivity of my sons and daughters, which the Eternal one brought on them. 11 I had nurtured them in joy; with tears and sadness I saw them leave. 12 Let no one rejoice on seeing me a widow and abandoned by all. Because of the sins of my children I am now alone, because they have turned away from the law of God.
27 Take courage, my children, cry out to God, for he who sent you into exile will remember you.
28 Thus, as you distanced yourself from God, return to him and seek him ten times more earnestly. 29 For he who caused these evils to fall on you will bring you salvation and eternal joy.
Responsorial Psalm:
The Lord listens to the poor.
33 Let the lowly witness this and be glad. You who seek God, may your hearts be revived.
34 For the Lord hears the needy and does not despise those in captivity.
35 Let heaven and earth praise him, the seas and whatever moves in them.
36 For God will save Zion and rebuild the cities of Judah. His people shall dwell in the land and possess it;
37 the children of his servants shall inherit it, and those who love his name will dwell in it.
