The disciples return happy with the success of their mission. But Jesus teaches about the true source of joy.<\/p>\n<p>We explored literature and theology to show the difference between rejoicing in signs and the joy of salvation. The mission was a chance to see the authority that Jesus gave. And this shows how we can be humble or proud.<\/p>\n<p>Seeing Jesus joyful, we speak of Satan&#039;s fall &quot;like lightning&quot; and the book of life. We want to show everyone, including lay people and theology students, how to see the signs of the Kingdom. And, at the same time, not to forget salvation. Our goal is to suggest pastoral practices. They should create a solid spiritual joy and avoid pride in ministry.<\/p>\n<h2>Historical and literary context of the Gospel of Luke<\/h2>\n<p>The third gospel has a detailed literary design. It places Jesus&#039; actions in a well-defined historical context. The author is concerned with order and witness, and creates a story focused on mission and inclusion.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-17451\" title=\"historical context of the gospel\" src=\"https:\/\/bencaodiaria.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/contexto-historico-do-evangelho-1024x585.jpeg\" alt=\"contexto hist\u00f3rico do evangelho\" width=\"750\" height=\"428\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bencaodiaria.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/contexto-historico-do-evangelho-1024x585.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/bencaodiaria.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/contexto-historico-do-evangelho-300x171.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/bencaodiaria.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/contexto-historico-do-evangelho-770x440.jpeg 770w, https:\/\/bencaodiaria.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/contexto-historico-do-evangelho.jpeg 1344w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Authorship and intended audience<\/h3>\n<p>Authorship is traditionally attributed to Luke, a physician who accompanied Paul. The gospel is aimed at an educated Gentile-Christian audience, known as the Lucan audience. They appreciate well-structured narratives and historical explanations.<\/p>\n<h3>The uniqueness of the account of the seventy-two<\/h3>\n<p>The story of the seventy-two appears only here. This literary exclusivity shows Luke attempting to expand the mission. He wants to highlight the universal vision of the Kingdom. The goal is to emphasize missionary effectiveness and the work of the Holy Spirit among the marginalized.<\/p>\n<h3>Connection with other Lucan passages and the Synoptic tradition<\/h3>\n<p>There are parallels between the instructions given to the Twelve in Matthew and Mark. However, Luke&#039;s account has its own characteristics. Compared to the synoptic tradition, Luke adds unique elements. He includes Jesus&#039; joy, the reference to the book of life, and a special focus on the &quot;little ones.&quot;.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The context of landscapes and symbolic dangers helps to understand images such as snakes and scorpions.<\/li>\n<li>Jewish practices of recording names and lineages that make the notion of the book of life plausible.<\/li>\n<li>Focus on the Spirit and on social inclusion, hallmarks of the Lucan theological project.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Careful reading of Luke 10:17-24<\/h2>\n<p><b>Luke 10<\/b>,Verses 17-24 are full of meaning in just a few words. They contain narration, interpretation, and praise. They are common in churches, inspiring sermons and studies.<\/p>\n<p>This text has three parts. First, Jesus sends out the seventy-two disciples. Then, they return, happy with their success. And Jesus teaches, imparting important lessons.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Full text and liturgical version<\/strong>This form uses short sentences. It helps when speaking in public and memorizing information.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Keywords and repeated terms<\/strong>Joy, power, and name are repeated. They make us pay attention to emotions and authority.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Narrative division<\/strong>There are three stages: the mission, the return, and the teaching. Each part prepares for the next.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Keywords are important here. They tell of the disciples&#039; joy, the authority given by Jesus, and the promised future in heaven.<\/p>\n<p>In church, this reading illustrates the difference between miracles and true salvation. This helps everyone to better understand the message.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Mission: Shipping and instructions.<\/li>\n<li>Return: They tell stories of miracles and celebrate victory.<\/li>\n<li>Teaching: It talks about Satan and about true joy.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>This passage from the Bible is excellent for group analysis. Identifying its parts helps to uncover deeper messages. This enriches the discussion and religious teaching.<\/p>\n<h2>Luke 10:17-24: verse-by-verse analysis<\/h2>\n<p>This text shows the relationship between mission, authority, and revelation. We analyze <b>Luke 10<\/b>,Verses 17-24, verse by verse. We will examine everything from the travelers&#039; return to Jesus&#039; exultation, highlighting the importance of the book of life.<\/p>\n<p>The disciples return happy with the success of their mission. They recount that even the demons obeyed in Jesus&#039; name. This shows that the power comes from Him, not from humans. Jesus speaks of Satan&#039;s fall, symbolizing victory over evil.<\/p>\n<p>The authority given to them to overcome evil is symbolized by treading on snakes and scorpions. This passage links the mission to the victory of the Gospel over the forces of evil.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Verse 20 \u2014 the warning about where joy should be placed.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Jesus instructs the disciples not to focus on their accomplishments, but on the true victory: their names written in heaven. This shows the importance of the spiritual meaning of the mission, beyond the immediate results.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Verses 21-22 \u2014 Jesus&#039; praise and revelation to the little ones<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Jesus, filled with the Holy Spirit, praises God for revealing secrets to the humble. He speaks of divine revelation hidden from the wise and revealed to the simple. This highlights that true understanding comes from humility, not from intellectual knowledge.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Verses 23-24 \u2014 the blessedness of those who see and hear<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Jesus highlights the good fortune of the disciples who see and hear what many have longed for. He connects the present with ancient promises, showing the greatness of what they are experiencing. Blessedness is emphasized as a unique experience.<\/p>\n<p>Looking at the entire analysis, we see the connection between present power and the eternal promise in the book of life. Jesus&#039; joy highlights the mission as a moment of divine revelation.<\/p>\n<h2>The joy of spiritual empowerment and authority over evil.<\/h2>\n<p>The seventy returned full of joy, thanks to the gifts they had received. They not only preached and healed, but also cast out demons. This demonstrated the power of the Kingdom of God in the face of evil.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Exorcism as a sign of the Kingdom<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When demons are driven out, people see the Kingdom of God in action. This proves that God is actively working against the forces of evil.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Source of authority: Jesus, not human protagonism.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>True authority comes from Jesus, not from human efforts. This helps to avoid pride and maintains gratitude throughout the mission.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Biblical imagery: serpents, scorpions, and lightning.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Snakes and scorpions are real dangers and also symbols of demons. The image of lightning shows how evil is quickly defeated by the light of God.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Pastoral interpretation: recognizing results as the work of God and maintaining humility.<\/li>\n<li>Practical spirituality: giving thanks for the fruits of one&#039;s labor and subordinating talents to the mission of salvation.<\/li>\n<li>Biblical connections: passages such as Psalm 91 and Romans 16:20 help to contextualize protection and victory.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>The joy of salvation versus ministerial pride.<\/h2>\n<p>There are two forms of happiness: one through impressive things and the other through salvation. The second is deeper. Jesus teaches us to focus on what truly matters, beyond the praise of others.<\/p>\n<h3>Why does Jesus redirect joy toward the recording of names in heaven?<\/h3>\n<p>Jesus mentions names in heaven to show where true joy is found. Being on God&#039;s list is like having our place guaranteed in the heavenly family. Miracles are important, but not as important as being a child of God.<\/p>\n<h3>The risk of relying solely on spiritual gifts.<\/h3>\n<p>Relying solely on spiritual gifts can be risky if there is no change of heart. The Bible warns about this. Judas was with Jesus and yet he was lost. This shows that spiritual gifts do not guarantee our holiness.<\/p>\n<h3>The book of life and the certainty of eternal vocation.<\/h3>\n<p>The book of life symbolizes judgment and love. Daniel and Revelation speak to this metaphor. Being listed as part of God&#039;s family shows that our calling is forever, not just for a time.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Fruits and signs matter now, but the happiness of salvation is fundamental.<\/li>\n<li>True joy leads to humility and constant change.<\/li>\n<li>More blessings mean greater responsibilities, as Luke 12:48 says.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>The joy of divine revelation and the role of little children.<\/h2>\n<p>Reading Luke, we see that God prefers to reveal secrets to the simple, not to the learned. Jesus praises the Father for choosing the humble. Revealing to the simple reflects trust in God.<\/p>\n<p>The gospel says that understanding does not come to the arrogant. Truth is hidden from the powerful. But the humble, they are the ones who receive divine light.<\/p>\n<p>When the Bible speaks of &quot;little ones,&quot; it is not referring to age. It means people who depend on God, like a child trusts their parents.<\/p>\n<p>Lucas emphasizes the urgency of focusing on missions to those in need. First, the Gospel reaches the marginalized. We cannot be elitist. It is essential to listen to the humble.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>We should listen more to those who need it.<\/li>\n<li>Promoting simplicity combats the pursuit of status.<\/li>\n<li>Depending on the Spirit makes the mission genuine.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Luke teaches that God chooses the humble by grace. Salvation comes from mercy, not intelligence. Churches need to practice simplicity and be with the poor.<\/p>\n<h2>Jesus exulting in the Holy Spirit: theology and spirituality<\/h2>\n<p>Luke recounts a moment where Jesus is overjoyed because of the Holy Spirit. This happiness comes from God, not from things that people do. Jesus shows that true joy lies in being close to God and the Holy Spirit.<\/p>\n<p>Jesus gives thanks and praises God in this account. He is happy because God has revealed himself to ordinary people. Ancient church texts say that this joy is a way of understanding and appreciating what God does for us.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Spirit as a source of comfort and praise.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Holy Spirit brings comfort and makes us feel firm in our mission. Having the Spirit with us makes us confident and changes our hearts. Being open to the Spirit allows us to praise God together in prayers and celebrations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The relationship between spiritual joy and the fruits of the Spirit.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Joy comes from the work of the Holy Spirit within us. Paul says that this happiness comes along with peace, patience, and kindness. When we allow the Holy Spirit to work, these qualities appear in our lives.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Practice: prayer that acknowledges the action of the Spirit, not just visible results.<\/li>\n<li>Discernment: distinguishing between ministerial pride and the joy that comes from salvation.<\/li>\n<li>Communion: praise of Christ linked to the humble witness of the little ones.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Living with the Holy Spirit requires us to observe His signs and be humble. Jesus teaches us that true joy comes from knowing God and sharing goodness with everyone.<\/p>\n<h2>Pastoral implications for Christian life and mission.<\/h2>\n<p>This passage from Luke shows that leaders must guard their hearts and their actions. They need to follow practices of responsibility, humility, and trust in God. What matters most is not just the visible blessing, but the service itself.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How to avoid spiritual pride in ministry.<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Establish accountability routines between pastors and teams to prevent self-promotion.<\/li>\n<li>Include regular times for communal confession and spiritual guidance in ministerial training.<\/li>\n<li>To promote Bible reading that reminds us of the source of ministerial power: Jesus, not human protagonism.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>To promote joy that comes from salvation, not just from results.<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Prioritize preaching and catechesis on the certainty of having one&#039;s name written in heaven as the foundation of the joy of salvation.<\/li>\n<li>To teach that signs and results are means to the announcement, not the ultimate goal of the mission.<\/li>\n<li>Encourage practices of thanksgiving and gratitude that deepen trust in God, even without immediate return.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>The testimony of the humble as an evangelizing strategy.<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>To value the leading role of lay people, the poor, and marginalized groups in evangelization programs.<\/li>\n<li>To design initiatives that prioritize those with &quot;the heart of a little child,&quot; integrating mission and humility into the planning process.<\/li>\n<li>To offer pastoral training to avoid the sensationalization of gifts and to promote an authentic Christian witness.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Ongoing formation in humility and prayer practices is essential. These practices increase the joy of salvation. Constant support for missionaries is also important, keeping the mission faithful to the Spirit and to humble service.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, it is crucial to encourage the missionaries. They should be reminded that the joy of the Lord is their strength. This is true even when results are not seen immediately. Humble faith and trust in heaven are powerful testimonies.<\/p>\n<h2>Related Bible readings and references<\/h2>\n<p>Luke 10 invites us to explore various literary sources. These include the Old and New Testaments, patristic writings, and modern sermons. These readings reveal recurring images and themes in the Holy Scriptures and Christian tradition. They are pathways to a better understanding of the biblical text.<\/p>\n<p>Texts from the Old Testament have important connections to the theme. The symbolism of the serpent, for example, begins in Genesis 3 and returns in the New Testament. There is also the idea of divine protection in Psalm 91, which speaks of refuge and confidence against evil. Another point is the judgment in Daniel 7, highlighting visions and heavenly judgments.<\/p>\n<p>The New Testament accounts expand on the message of security that Jesus brought. In Romans 8, we learn that nothing can separate us from the love of Christ. This gives us a basis for trusting in Him. John 10 and John 17 tell us about the security of Christ&#039;s followers.<\/p>\n<p>Romans 16:20, in turn, speaks of victory over evil.<\/p>\n<p>Patristic tradition and ancient sermons add pastoral understanding to the text. They show how the Holy Spirit helps in joy and perseverance through the teachings of Hermas. Church Fathers explain that divine revelation is given to the humble, and the joy of Christ strengthens us in our mission.<\/p>\n<p>Today, liturgical practices and homilies continue to explore these messages. They speak of the balance between power and humility. There is also a translation of these concepts to the current reality of communities. Luke 10 is used in leadership training and pastoral work, by both Catholics and Protestants.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some brief suggestions for further reading:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Exegetical commentary on Luke by Raymond E. Brown and Joel B. Green for textual analysis and literary context.<\/li>\n<li>Studies on Psalm 91 and its liturgical and pastoral function.<\/li>\n<li>Works on Daniel 7 that explain apocalyptic imagery and books in the judgment.<\/li>\n<li>Patristic texts, including the Shepherd of Hermas, for spiritual and homiletical perspective.<\/li>\n<li>Documents from the CNBB (National Conference of Brazilian Bishops) and training materials on mission and laity applicable to the Brazilian context.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These readings create a rich web of interpretations. They show the dialogue between Luke 10 and other important texts. This conversation between ancient traditions and modern reflections increases the pastoral value of the text.<\/p>\n<h2>Practical applications for personal spirituality.<\/h2>\n<p>We can transform the <b>reading from Luke 10<\/b> This translates into something practical for daily life. It involves simple steps that fit into our routine. They help us to be spiritually joyful, avoiding pride and strengthening Christian humility and spiritual discipline.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A daily practice of thanksgiving centered on the name of Jesus. Begin with five minutes acknowledging the gifts of and dependence on the Spirit.<\/li>\n<li>A brief meditation on &quot;the name written in heaven&quot;: read a verse, repeat it silently, and let it shape your trust in God.<\/li>\n<li>Intercessory prayers that alternate between praise and petition, avoiding the need to seek human approval.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Self-examination<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Ask yourself guiding questions at the end of the day: Did my joy come from signs or from the certainty of salvation?<\/li>\n<li>Include sincere confession when you identify wrong motivations and seek spiritual guidance to adjust your course.<\/li>\n<li>Record brief notes on the temptation to take the lead and on moments of genuine dependence on the Spirit.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Guidelines for growing in humility<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Adopt practices such as fasting and service to others, prioritizing encounters with marginalized groups.<\/li>\n<li>Practice regular Bible reading: Psalm 130 and Job 42 help shape Christian humility and a correct view of God.<\/li>\n<li>Participate in spiritual direction and community formation programs that promote accountability and openness.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Recommendations for leaders<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Celebrate the fruits of your labor without idolizing the results, publicly acknowledging that authority comes from Jesus.<\/li>\n<li>Create training routines that teach how to deal with the temptations of success.<\/li>\n<li>Encourage inclusion programs, catechesis for lay people, and missionary practices that prioritize the youngest members of the family.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These suggestions combine practical spirituality with spiritual discipline. They keep our joy grounded in salvation. They also preserve Christian humility. And they transform ministries into safe places for the most vulnerable.<\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>Luke 10:17-24 presents us with three types of joy. The first is the joy that comes from ministerial work. The second, deeper joy, is the joy of salvation, highlighted in the book of life. The third speaks of the joy revealed to the humble. This passage teaches us that miracles support the Kingdom of God. However, they do not replace faith anchored in future hope.<\/p>\n<p>The essence of the message is clear. We should be grateful for successes in the Christian mission, maintaining humility and trust in Jesus. This creates true happiness, which comes from the Holy Spirit and does not depend solely on achievements.<\/p>\n<p>The text also points to the importance of welcoming communities. We need to value actions that reinforce salvation and encourage a ministry that includes everyone. Luke 10:17-24 unites theology and daily life. It associates joy with preparation for the heavenly vision and dedication to the Christian mission.<\/p>\n<section class=\"schema-section\">\n<h2>FAQ<\/h2>\n<div>\n<h3>What is the historical and literary context of the account in Luke 10:17-24?<\/h3>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p>Luke was addressing an audience of educated Gentile Christians. He was concerned with historical and theological accuracy. His account of the seventy-two disciples is special. He shows how the Kingdom of God is for everyone, including the forgotten, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, in Jewish lands.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>Who are the \u201cseventy-two\u201d and why is this mission unique?<\/h3>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p>The seventy-two appear only in the Gospel of Luke. They symbolize the expansion of the mission beyond the apostles. This moment highlights the reach of the Gospel to all, especially the excluded, showing the power of the small in God&#039;s plan.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>What does the joy described in verse 17 mean: &quot;very happy&quot;?<\/h3>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p>The disciples&#039; joy comes from the success of their mission, even casting out demons. But Luke highlights a greater happiness: that of having their salvation assured, symbolized by &quot;their names written in heaven.&quot;.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>How should we interpret Jesus&#039; statement: &quot;I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven&quot; (v. 18)?<\/h3>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p>Jesus uses a powerful image to illustrate the defeat of darkness. He suggests that, through his actions, the victory over evil has already begun. Luke wants to show that good is triumphing over evil.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>What does it mean that \u201cI have given authority to trample on snakes and scorpions\u201d (v.19)?<\/h3>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p>Jesus speaks of overcoming evil and dangers, such as snakes or scorpions. He gives the disciples the power to confront evil, showing that good will prevail.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>Why does Jesus correct them: \u201cDo not rejoice because the spirits obey you\u201d (v. 20)?<\/h3>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p>Jesus wants true joy to come from salvation, not just from miracles. He directs attention to what really matters: eternal life.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>What does &quot;their names are written in heaven&quot; mean?<\/h3>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p>Having your name written in heaven means being part of God&#039;s family forever. It is the divine promise of eternal salvation and belonging.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>How are we to understand Jesus&#039; exultation &quot;in the Holy Spirit&quot; (v. 21)?<\/h3>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p>Jesus rejoices in the work of the Spirit, revealing truths to the simple. His prayer to the Father highlights the connection between God, Jesus, and the Spirit. It also shows that God reveals himself to the humble.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>Who are the &quot;little ones&quot; to whom God reveals things?<\/h3>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p>The &quot;little ones&quot; are those with humble and open hearts, not because of their age. God turns to those who feel small, showing that everyone has value.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>What is the relationship between signs (e.g., exorcisms) and the true evangelizing mission?<\/h3>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p>Miracles confirm the arrival of the Kingdom of God, but the goal is to save and include everyone in Christ. They should lead us to humility and a commitment to helping one another.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>What are the pastoral dangers linked to the ministerial success observed in this text?<\/h3>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p>The greatest danger is pride, thinking that success comes from ourselves and not from God. This can lead us away from the spirit of service and true mission. Luke reminds us of the importance of humility and continuous training.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>How can we pastorally apply the distinction between joy in signs and the joy of salvation?<\/h3>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p>We must focus on what is eternal, on &quot;the name written in heaven.&quot; Encourage gratitude and simplicity in hearts. And value those who live their faith humbly, reaching out even to those who are often forgotten.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>What biblical connections help in interpreting Luke 10:17-24?<\/h3>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p>Luke echoes themes of protection, judgment, and victory over evil found in other books of the Bible. These themes reinforce the message of salvation and the triumph of good.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>What spiritual practices does the text suggest for nurturing healthy joy?<\/h3>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p>Practice gratitude, reflect on the promise of eternal life, examine our hearts, fast, and serve. Also, seek spiritual guidance and participate in liturgies that remind us of our dependence on God.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>How does this passage guide evangelization in the Brazilian context?<\/h3>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p>It highlights the importance of reaching out to the excluded, questioning closed-minded ideas, giving voice to ordinary people, and valuing work done in community. It calls us to humility and acceptance, engaging in dialogue with Brazilian society.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>What readings and recommended authors would deepen the understanding of this text?<\/h3>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p>Books by authors such as Raymond E. Brown and Joel B. Green, studies by the CNBB (National Conference of Brazilian Bishops) on mission, and ancient texts on joy and the Holy Spirit. They help to better understand this passage and how to apply it to life.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Evangelho (Lc\u00a010,17-24):\u00a0Naquele tempo, os setenta e dois voltaram alegres, dizendo: \u00abSenhor, at\u00e9 os dem\u00f4nios nos obedecem por causa do teu nome\u00bb.
