"Zaccheus, hurry and come down, for I must stay at your house today." So he hurried and came down and received him joyfully..."Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor. And if I have defrauded anyone of anything, I restore it forefold." And Jesus said to him, "Today salvation has come to this house, since he also is a son of Abraham. For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost." Luke 19:5ff
You, O Lord, are the great consolation of the poor and needy. Give me the zeal and sheer joy of Zaccheus to see you in your Church in time, and in eternity in heaven. Give me the humility to amend my sinful life and make four-fold restoration when I sin against others. Amen.
