The Love of Predilection

by Bishop Robert Barron . November 3, 2019 .

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.

More to it, as we see in the coin, the sheep, and the son, recovering a lost soul is what he rejoices in doing.
