31th Sunday in Ordinary Time

"Now a man named Zacchaeus,

who was a chief tax collector and
also a wealthy man,

was seeking to see who Jesus was,....

So, he ran ahead and climbed a
sycamore tree in order to see Jesus

who was about to pass that way." Luke 19

Zacchaeus wasn’t perfect – he was
unfinished, scattered and incomplete.

But God’s Spirit had nudged him
to leave his home that day and become a seeker.
He thought he was just going to see Jesus with his eyes.
But a lot more happened to him because
Jesus saw Zacchaeus’ hunger and
entered his life and the life of his family.

Have you, like Zacchaeus, ever had a longing that
sent you out on a spiritual quest?
How does that quest affect your life now?
