cheated anyone, I will pay him back four times as much.” Looking at him Jesus said, “Salvation has come to this house today, for he is also a true son of Abraham. The Son of Man has come to seek and to save the lost.”
Lectio Divina
READ: “Salvation has come to this house today,” is a won- derful declaration from the mouth of Jesus in the gospel today. The first reading speaks about second chances for our lives to turn around, to re- nounce evil and to trust in the Lord.
REFLECT: The Lord desires that we all be saved. But time and again we fail and our lives miss turning around for God. The good news is that God is compassionate and he does not will that any of us perish. He gives us second chances to understand how much we have allowed evil and wickedness to run our lives. He is giving us another time to show repentance and return to his embrace. This was how he blessed the life of Zaccheus.
PRAY: Disturb my life, Lord and help me see that being with you is what truly matters in life.
ACT: List all your sins (they keep us away from God) and then make a firm resolve to heal them one by one.
