Thirty-First Sunday in Ordinary Time

Today, salvation has come to this house. Jesus speaks these words to Zacchaeus, the tax collector, a man who was looked down upon not only because of stature but by occupation. Yet, Jesus looks up at him, spotting him in the tree, and invites Himself to supper in his house. Zacchaeus makes a profession of conversion and reparation for past sins, and finds forgiveness and mercy from the Son of God.

Christ has invited Himself into our homes and lives, are we able to make the same profession of faith and repentance?
