Homily (Reflection) for Tuesday of
the Thirty-Third Week in Ordinary Time (II) (15th November, 2016) on
the Gospel
(Saint Albert the Great, B.D., Opt Mem)
Rev 3:1-6.14-22;
Ps 14:2-5. (R. Rev 3:21);Lk 19:1-10.
Topic: Still God’s creature.

Zacchaeus had been marked by the people for Hell. In the
Jewish culture, such persons have no room for repentance. However, even the
worst sinner still retains God’s trademark (God’s creature). Hence, Jesus even
addressed him by his personal name. And God is still interested in the
salvation of all even those who have lost the hope of being saved.
Dear friends, what is still holding you down? Jesus is
calling you today as He called Zacchaeus to follow the example of Zacchaeus who
admitted that he was a sinner. Jesus loves all His children, cf. Jn 13:1. Zacchaeus confessed by telling
Jesus the things he was to do to make his path straight. Love the poor in
action for love covers a multitude of sins, cf. 1Pt 4:8. You are required to do restitution.
Bible Reading: Ps 51.
Thought for today: God is still waiting for you.
Let us pray: Lord, give us the strength not just
to leave our old ways but also to make amends – Amen.
