2 Page 2 Thirty-First Sunday in Ordinary Time Pastor s Page...For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost." Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, Zacchaeus' interest in seeing what Jesus was like was caused by something more than idle curiosity. Unknown to him, the grace of God was working within him. He thought that he just wanted to see what Jesus was like. Jesus knew already what Zacchaeus was like and intended to see him and save him from his downward rush after earthly wealth. He would offer him eternal riches. This is exactly what happened. Jesus entered the home and heart of Zacchaeus that day, and not only the home and heart of Zacchaeus, but of his whole household. From that day Jesus had devoted followers in Jericho, and Christianity had a strong foothold in that ancient city. There were many other sinners in Jericho that day. In fact, it is most likely that the vast majority of the adult population were guilty of violating one or other of God's commandments. Why then did Zacchaeus get this great privilege and not the others? God alone knows the answer to this question. We can assume that the mercy of God and the grace of conversion was available to all of them. However, unlike Zacchaeus, many of them refused to accept God's offer. Christ told them all that he "had come to search out and save what was lost." Many of them, unfortunately, did not realize that they were lost and so did not interpret his words as applying to themselves. Certainly, those who murmured, because he was entering the house of a sinner, must have felt that their own house was a haven of sanctity. But was it? Even if they had no other sins, this lack of charity, of interest, in their fellow-citizen's salvation was a violation of one of the basic commandments. Not to admit that we are sinners is a fundamental impediment to the working of the mercy and grace of God in our hearts. The second and more common impediment is to refuse to listen to the calls to repentance, which God so frequently sends out to us. God wants all mankind, the whole human race, to enjoy the eternal happiness of heaven. His divine Son became man so that men could share this eternal happiness with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit forever. The door of heaven is open. The road is clearly mapped out. All the necessary means for the journey are at our disposal. The only ones who can fail are those who wander deliberately off the road and refuse to return to it when called. Those who fail cannot blame God. It was his love for us and his desire that we should be eternally happy with him, that led him to the humiliation of lowering his divine Son to the level of a mere creature in his human nature. He endured the tortures of crucifixion, in order to raise us up to the level of divine Sonship. Such love is so infinitely far beyond our limited intelligence that it is almost incredible. When God did this for us, we were his enemies and positive offenders against his law. Some of us, aided by God's grace, can forgive a fellowman who has offended us. Which of us could willingly die for that neighbor while he was still offending us? This is what God the Son did for us. We cannot have the slightest doubt that he wants us all in heaven. Neither can we doubt that he is sending out calls to us when we wander foolishly off the right road. Unfortunately for ourselves, we can refuse to listen to these calls. We can turn a deaf ear to God's offer of mercy and grace. If we do, one of our greatest sources of sorrow and regret in our future life, will be that, while we still had a chance to repent, our stupid stubbornness made us refuse to listen to our loving Father's calls to repentance. Zacchaeus was not so stubborn or so foolish. The story of his conversion is put before us today, not as a matter of historical interest, but as a matter of vital spiritual interest. We are all sinners to a greater or lesser degree. Jesus is approaching each one of us today by means of this very lesson which we have read. Let each one of us try to see what Jesus is like. He is a loving brother who died that we might live, a fellowman who suffered tortures that we might have eternal joy. He was also the Son of God, the God of infinite love. At the same time, let Jesus see us as we really are. Let us expose and confess to him all our earthly weaknesses and injustices against God and neighbor. He will find a remedy for us. He will put us back once more on the straight road to heaven. Today, salvation will come to us and to our house. We will become again true sons of Abraham, true heirs to heaven. by Father Kevin O Sullivan, O.F.M. *Father Kevin was professor of Sacred Scripture at Christ the King Seminary and St. Bonaventure University in N.Y. and later in the National Seminary, Pretoria, South Africa and as a pastoral priest in Ireland.
