Gospel: luke 10:17-24
17 The seventy returned with joy, saying, "Lord, even the demons are subject to us in your name!"
18 He said to them, "I saw Satan having fallen like lightning from heaven.
19 Behold, I give you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy. Nothing will in any way hurt you.
20 Nevertheless, don't rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven."
21 In that same hour Jesus rejoiced in the Holy Spirit, and said, "I thank you, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for so it was well-pleasing in your sight."
22 Turning to the disciples, he said, "All things have been delivered to me by my Father. No one knows who the Son is, except the Father, and who the Father is, except the Son, and he to whomever the Son desires to reveal him."
23 Turning to the disciples, he said privately, "Blessed are the eyes which see the things that you see,
24 for I tell you that many prophets and kings desired to see the things which you see, and didn't see them, and to hear the things which you hear, and didn't hear them."

Baruch 4:5-12, 27-29
5 Be of good cheer, my people, the memorial of Israel.
6 You? were sold to the nations, but not for destruction: because you? moved God to wrath, you? were delivered to your adversaries.
7 For you? provoked him that made you by sacrificing to demons, and not to God.
8 You? forgat the everlasting God, that brought you up; you? grieved also Jerusalem, that nursed you.
9 For she saw the wrath that is come upon you from God, and said, Hearken, you? women that dwell about Sion: for God has brought upon me great mourning;
10 for I have seen the captivity of my sons and daughters, which the Everlasting has brought upon them.
11 For with joy did I nourish them; but sent them away with weeping and mourning.
12 Let no man rejoice over me, a widow, and forsaken of many: for the sins of my children am I left desolate; because they turned aside from the law of God,
27 Be of good cheer, O my children, and cry to God: for you? shall be remembered of him that has brought these things upon you.
28 For as it was your mind to go astray from God: so, return and seek him ten times more.
29 For he that brought these plagues upon you shall bring you everlasting joy again with your salvation.
