GETTING ZACCHAEUS AND OURSELVES OUT OF THE TREE

Today's gospel is about a little man who was a big man. No, it's not an old Dustin Hoffman movie. The gospel is about a short man named Zacchaeus who was a tax collector. Like all people short of stature, he had to put up with people treating him as though he were a child. He had to put up with people who saw power in relationship to size. Perhaps like some people in his situation, he found a way to have power over those who were much taller and stronger than he was. Zacchaeus learned accounting and took a job working for the Romans. Strong people and  tall people would come to him with hat in hand, pleading with him to have mercy on them and not demand of them the little money on which they had to live. He was short, but he was one of the most powerful men  in Jericho. He had the power of Rome behind him. He had the last laugh, or so he thought. Then he heard the disturbance. Jesus of Nazareth had entered Jericho. A huge crowd had formed to hear what he had to say and to beg for healing. Zacchaeus was as curious as everyone else  to know who this Jesus was,  but he couldn't even see him because the crowd was so thick and he was so short. So, he climbed the tree, watched Jesus, decided that his life had to be changed, and was transformed.  Jesus had said to him , "Come down from that tree, Zacchaeus. I am going to eat at your house tonight."  That is why Zacchaeus left his  position of importance  and  power. He traded  the power of the world for the power of the Lord. He knew his riches were achieved dishonestly, so he gave half of what he owned to the poor, and declared that he would repay in fourfold anyone he had cheated. With Jesus Christ and the Power of the Kingdom of God in his heart, the little man had become quite big..


ALL SAINTS - ALL SOULS DAY

The challenge of sainthood is to go where love takes you.  Any job can become a ministry as long   as it is dedicated to love.  Our peace lies in loving as God loves, so we must strive to love everyone.  The only love that completes us is the love of God, and the love of God is the love of  everyone.  Whatever you do, do it for God.  With him there are no regrets because  Athe steadfast  love of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting@ (Psalm 103:17).   This is the credo of all the saints and the hope of all souls.

* May there always be work for your hands to do.* May your purse always hold a coin or two.* May the sun always shine on your windowpane.* May a rainbow be certain to follow each rain.* May the hand of a friend always be near you.* May God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you.                                     (Irish blessing)
