Sunday Gospel Reflections
Thirty-First Sunday in Ordinary Time–Year C
October 31, 2010 Read Sunday’s Gospel, Luke 19:1-10. Gospel Summary Children may know just how Zacchaeus felt in Sunday’s Gospel story. Have you ever lifted your children to your shoulders so they might see over the crowds at a parade, waiting in a long line, or at a local sporting event? Zacchaeus was short and climbed a tree to get a better look at Jesus. Something surely stirred in his heart because it seems that he may have already given some thought to changing. Jesus reached out to Zacchaeus in friendship, and Zacchaeus responded with generosity and true remorse. Reflection for Families Among our children’s playmates we may find some who try our patience. It may be that they come from different backgrounds or circumstances than our own family, and we may hold similar reservations regarding their parents. Perhaps Sunday’s Gospel challenges us to encounter those who may be outcasts in a more loving way, as Jesus did. |
