Zacchaeus

There is in everyone a Zacchaeus, once a sinner, seeking for Jesus. The wonder is, even before one find Jesus, Jesus find him. And enters his house, and his heart. Receiving Jesus, Zacchaeus is never the same. Justice and compassion then flow from his heart. He is saved.

May we allow Jesus to find us today. May we allow him to come to our house. May we allow him to come to our hearts.

WE could also learn from the approach of Jesus.

God loves his creatures. His desire is to save not destroy. Wisely and compassionately, Jesus saved Zacchaeus. May we, the Church, mirror not only God's justice, but also his wisdom and compassion which alone truly saves.
