Lk 19.1-10

Meditatio: “For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save what was lost.” Lk 19.10
Oratio: "O God, You are so merciful!

I remember Jesus made it clear in his encounter with Zaccheaus , a tax collector and public sinner, that He had come to save all.

Grant that I may be optimistic but not presumptuous as to a successful end of my life’s journey.

I ask this of You, who lives and reigns with Jesus and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever.
Amen.”

Contemplatio: Keep silence and remain in recollection for a few minutes.

Operatio: Reflect on how grateful I am that Jesus came to save all? Do I reflect God’s mercy to me by extending it to those whose lives I touch? Do I show it by helping the poor and by defrauding no one?
