31st Sunday in Ordinary Time

Dear Parishioners,

In the Gospel, Zacchaeus was not looking for a miracle; he just wanted to see Jesus. When Jesus called him, he came down quickly with great joy. When Jesus calls us, do we come quickly, or do we hesitate? Jesus comes to us in the Eucharist. As Zacchaeus did, we ought to receive Him with great joy. For Zacchaeus received and was changed by the encounter. We, too, are meant to be transformed, for the sake of the world.
