Murphy's First Law for Wives:
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.

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.

In those days he went out to the mountain to pray; and all night he continued

from them twelve, whom he named apostles; 14 Simon, whom he named Peter, and
Andrew his brother, and James and John, and Philip, and Bartholomew, 15 and
Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon who was called

Introduction to the Celebration
Today we are going to reflect on self-knowledge and humility. By gathering here in public we are telling the world that we take the need to profess faith in God seriously; we are saying we are people with a definite way of life, that we have taken up the cross of discipleship. But without humble awareness of our faults and our need of God’s mercy, we could be deceiving ourselves. Let us ask the Spirit to enlighten our minds that we might know our failings, and to give us the humility to ask for mercy.

29th Week - Oct 21-26: Daily Reflections
Oct 21 Monday: Lk 12: 13-21: 13 One of
the multitude said to him, “Teacher, bid my brother divide the inheritance with
me.” 14 But he said to him, “Man, who made me a judge or divider over you?” 15
And he said to them, “Take heed, and beware of all covetousness; for a man’s
life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.” 16 And he told them
a parable, saying, “The land of a rich man brought forth plentifully; 17 and he
thought to himself, `What shall I do, for I have nowhere to store my crops?’ 18
And he said, `I will do this: I will pull down my barns, and build larger ones;
and there I will store all my grain and my goods. 19 And I will say to my soul,
Soul, you have ample goods laid up for many years; take your ease, eat, drink,
be merry.’ 20 But God said to him, `Fool! This night your soul is required of
you; and the things you have prepared, whose will they be?’ 21 So is he who
lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.” USCCB video
