Saturday of 26th week. Year C. Luke 10: 17-24.
The disciples who went to their mission return joyful for demons where subject to them in Jesus name. Jesus redirects their joy, inviting them to rejoice because their names are written in heaven, not because of their authority. As disciples, our mission requires humility and a focus on childlike Faith, God's grace over earthly power or achievement.
A childlike Faith enable us finding our joy in our relationship with Christ. For us disciples, true rejoicing comes from our relationship with God and not from worldly powers.
Jesus, I trust in you
