If you ask your husband to pick up five items at the store and then you add one more as an afterthought, he will forget two of the first five.

31 Sunday C - Zachaeus, Come down

31st Sunday C from Jaimelito Gealan

 Gospel Text: Luke 19:1-10

General Textual comments
This Sunday’s passage tells the story of Jesus’ meeting with Zacchaeus. It is a very touching story, full of character, so deep that we are always finding new things in it, treasures we had not noticed before.  God however did not write the story for us to admire St Luke’s extraordinary artistry as a storyteller, but so that we could recognise ourselves in it and discover how he has been and continues to be at work in the world.
