Lectio:   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 kind and merciful!

I remember Jesus, when He visited Jericho and invited Himself to Zacchaeus’ house, showed and proclaimed very clearly that His mission was to save the sinner so that they, too, would have life everlasting.

Grant that I may respond to Jesus’ call to reform my life and to imitate the generosity of Zaccaheus as he showed us the right use of riches.

I ask this and all things in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with You
and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever.

Contemplatio: spend some time in silence and meditate on the selected passage and hear what
God is saying to you.

Operatio: reflect: "Son of Man..,.save...lost”: Jesus is the Son of Man; His mission was to save all - sinners and the righteous alike; In prayer seek the grace to respond on a life time basis Jesus’ call to reform and remember, it is not what the world thinks, it is what God wants and desires that counts - the salvation of all!
