FIRST READING: Wis. 11: 22-12: 2 "You have mercy on all things because you love everything that exists." God , whose imperishable spirit is in us all, loves all that exists.

Ps. 145 "I will bless your name for ever, O God my king."

2 Thess. 1: 11-2: 1 "The name of the Lord Jesus Christ will be glorified in you and you in him."

Jn. 3: 14 "God loved the world so much, he gave us his only Son, that all who believe in him might have eternal life."

GOSPEL: Lk. 19: 1-10

"The Son of Man came to seek and to find that which was lost."

Zacchaeus, anxious to catch a glimpse of Jesus, climbed up a sycamore. When Jesus reached the spot he welcomed Zacchaeus down. Zacchaeus, moved by Jesus declared to give half of his possessions to the poor and to repay those whom he may have cheated.

FOCUS: God, who loves all that exists, sent his Son to seek out the lost.

REFLECTION: "Heretics are to be converted by an example of humility and other virtues for more readily than by any external display or verbal battles. So let us arm ourselves with devout prayers and set off showing signs of genuine humility and go barefooted to combat Goliath." St. Dominic

"Nothing must keep us back, nothing separate us from him, nothing come between us and him. At all times and seasons, in every country and place, every day and all day, we must have a true and humble faith, and keep him in our hearts where we must love, honour, adore, serve, praise and bless, glorify and acclaim, magnify and thank, the most high supreme and eternal God, three in one, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, Creator of All and Saviour of those who believe in him, who hope in him, and who love him; without beginning and without end, he is unchangeable, invisible, indescribable and ineffable, incomprehensible, unfathomable, blessed and worthy of all praise." St. Francis of Assissi

"The essential mood of the penitent is this: 'In the way Thou knowest, O Lord, save me. For my part I will labor without hypocrisy, without deviation and misinterpretation, but according a pure conscience, doing everything that I understand and that lies in my power.' Whoever can truly feel this in his heart, is accepted by the Lord, who then comes to rule as king within him. God is his teacher, God it is who prays in him, God it is who bears fruit in him. God is his ruler. Such a state is the seed and the heart of the heavenly tree of life within him." Theophane the Recluse

APPLYING THE READINGS TO THE LITURGY:

Introduction to the Liturgy: The gift of salvation extends to all people; for the imperishable spirit through Jesus Christ, is in us all.

Opening Prayer: see alternate

Sample General Intercessions-

Introduction: My sisters and brothers, God our Father loves all humankind and desires all to be saved. Let us pray to God with all our hearts,

· For the holy Church of God: that the Lord guide and protect the lost sheep

· For peace among nations, that God may rid the world of violence, and that world leaders experience a conversion of values;

· For all our brothers and sisters in need, that through us, the Lord will assist them,

· For all of us gathered here, that we may recognize and respond to God in our midst;

Eucharistic Prayer: Fourth

Solemn Blessing: Fourth

God not only accepts us but goes one step further as shown in today' gospel. The universality of God's love revolutionizes us and activates deeper parts of our existence.

· In what ways do you relate to the actions of Zacchaeus in today's gospel?

· What comparison can you draw between Jesus' response in gospel reading, and God's response to us?

· What is it like to joyfully await the coming of something?

·What are some of the things we look forward to?

In the gospel reading Zacchaeus was very exited about seeing Jesus.

Reflect and use examples from the first reading that illustrate God calling us to action. God wills us into being. The spirit of God drew Zacchaeus to Jesus so strongly that he climbed a sycamore tree just to see him. So it is in our lives, that the Holy Spirit draws us closer to Jesus so that we too may get to know him.
