Gospel Reading Today, Oct. 4

Liturgical Day: Saturday October 4
   Gospel (Lk 10: 17-24): At that time, returned cheerful seventy-two, saying, "Lord, even the demons submit to us in your name." He said, "I saw Satan fall from heaven like lightning. Behold, I have given you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall hurt you; but do not rejoice because the spirits are subject to you; but rejoice that your names are written in heaven. "

At that time, he was filled with joy by the Holy Spirit, and said, "I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them to the childlike. Yes, Father, for such was your gracious will. All things are delivered to me by my Father, and no one knows who the Son is except the Father; and who the Father is except the Son and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal him. "

Turning to the disciples he said privately, "Blessed are the eyes that see what you see! For I tell you that many prophets and kings desired to see what you see but did not see, and hear what you hear but did not hear it. "
