In Luke’s Gospel we read the story of Jesus and Zacchaeus. Zacchaeus, as chief tax collector, was considered a very bad man in first-century Israel, but Christ greets him with love. It is the love of God that causes everything to be, and comes before everything we do. God does not love us because we do good; we do good because God loves us.
Reading 1 – Wisdom 11:22 – 12:2
Psalm – Psalm 145:1-14
Reading 2 – 2 Thessalonians 1:11 – 2:2
Gospel – Luke 19:1-10
I first read “And Now I See” as a college freshman, six years before I became Catholic, and it changed my life. I can’t recommend it enough and I’m so glad @BishopBarron and @WordOnFire have reprinted it! https://twitter.com/BishopBarron/status/1440405571299991562
