Luke 10: 17-24 - 'Rejoice that your names are written in heaven.'

Catechism of the Catholic Church Paragraphs:

- 787 (in 'The Church is communion with Jesus') - From the beginning, Jesus associated his disciples with his own life, revealed the mystery of the Kingdom to them, and gave them a share in his mission, joy, and sufferings (abbreviated).

- 2603 (in 'Jesus Prays') - The evangelists have preserved two more explicit prayers offered by Christ during his public ministry. Each begins with thanksgiving. In the first, Jesus confesses the Father, acknowledges, and blesses him because he has hidden the mysteries of the Kingdom from those who think themselves learned and has revealed them to infants, the poor of the Beatitudes. His exclamation, "Yes, Father!" expresses the depth of his heart, his adherence to the Father's "good pleasure," echoing his Father's house." Here the newness of prayer in the fullness of time begins to be revealed: his filial prayer, which the Father awaits from his children, is finally going to be lived out by the only Son in his humanity, with and for men.

- 1083 (in 'The Father - Source & Goal of the Liturgy') - The dual dimension of the Christian liturgy as a response of faith and love to the spiritual blessings the Father bestows on us is thus evident. On the one hand, the Church, united with her Lord and "in the Holy Spirit, blesses the Father "for his inexpressible gift in her adoration, praise, and thanksgiving. On the other hand, until the consummation of God's plan, the Church never ceases to present to the Father the offering of his own gifts and to beg him to send the Holy Spirit upon that offering, upon herself, upon the faithful, and upon the whole world, so that through communion in the death and resurrection of Christ the Priest, and by the power of the Spirit, these divine blessings will bring forth the fruits of life "to the praise of his glorious grace."

0:00.0	Hi everyone. Welcome again to Logical Bible Study. This podcast is all about helping you take a deeper
0:16.6	look at the gospel reading, so really diving into them, going through verse by verse, helping
0:21.3	you understand the text so that you're more prepared to go to Mass and to hear the sermon
0:25.8	at Mass about this text. So we're all about doing an exegesis of the Gospels. Today, if you
0:32.3	go to Mass, you would hear from Luke chapter 10, verses 17 to 24.
0:38.3	The 72 came back rejoicing.
0:41.3	Lord they said, even the devil will submit to us when we use your name.
0:46.3	He said to them, I watched Satan fall like lightning from heaven.
0:51.3	Yes, I have given you power to tread underfoot serpents and scorpions
0:56.4	and the whole strength of the enemy. Nothing shall ever hurt you. Yet, do not rejoice that the
1:03.6	spirits submit to you. Rejoice rather that your names are written in heaven. It was then that filled with joy by the Holy Spirit, he said,
1:14.7	I bless you, Father, Lord of Heaven and of earth, for hiding these things from the learned and the
1:20.4	clever, and revealing them to mere children. Yes, Father, for that is what it pleased you to do.
1:30.7	Everything has been entrusted to me by my father,
1:38.2	and no one knows who the son is except the father, and who the father is except the son, and those to whom the son chooses to reveal him. Then, turning to his disciples, he spoke to them in private.
1:45.7	Happy the eyes that see what you see, for I tell you that many prophets and kings wanted to see
1:51.5	what you see and never saw it, to hear what you hear and never heard it.
1:58.4	So that's our reading for today from Luke chapter 10. It's quite a complex one actually. It kind of
2:03.2	breaks down into three smaller sections, each which have their own complexities. But today's
2:09.0	reading covers all three sections. So we're going to have a go at going through this verse by
2:13.4	verse. Keep in mind that I think this is one of these readings that is actually quite deep.
2:17.9	The things that Jesus says here have a lot of depth to them. And so in this verse by verse
