STEWARDSHIP REFLECTIONS

Reflecting on God’s Word Luke sketches his characters quickly but with precision, telling us all we need to

know to appreciate the situation. Zacchaeus was chief tax collector, a wealthy man, and short. Most important, he was a seeker, trying to catch sight of Jesus.

Because of the crowd Jesus attracted as he was passing through town and because of his height, Zacchaeus had to climb a tree. His stature might not have been the only reason why. Tax collectors were nobody’s favorite; they collaborated with the Roman occupiers and became rich to the detriment of their own people. Up a

tree would have been the safest location for a tax collector in a crowd. What makes this story so appealing is the joy that both Jesus and Zacchaeus show

in meeting each other. “Come down quickly,” Jesus says, “for today I must stay at your house” (Luke 19:50). Zacchaeus drops quickly and receives Jesus with joy. The crowd, however, does not share in this joy. They grumble about a prophet eating with a sinner! But Zacchaeus holds his ground, saying that if—notice the

“if”—he has defrauded anyone, he will make amends four-fold, keeping to the strictest restitution demanded by the law. Jesus, not to be overdone in generosity, proclaims: “Today salvation has come to this

house” (19:9), adding that this is why he came in the first place, “to seek and save what was lost” (19:10). Sometimes we can find ourselves “up a tree,” even in our relationship with God. Remember Zacchaeus. Jesus

brought him down safely and restored him to the community. This is why he still comes into our lives: to bring salvation to our own house.

A Prayer Before Mass Lord Jesus Christ,

I approach your banquet table in fear and trembling, for I am a sinner, and dare not rely on my own worth,

but only on your goodness and mercy. I know my sins are many and great, and they fill me

with fear, but I hope in your mercies, for they cannot be numbered.

May your body and blood, which I intend to receive, be for me the remission of my sins, the washing away

of my guilt, the end of my evil thoughts and the rebirth of my better instincts.

May it incite me to do the works pleasing to you and profitable to my health in body and soul, and

be a firm defense against the wiles of my enemies.

Repairing the Damage

Some forgiveness seems to be “duty free,” like the prodigal son’s joyful, no-questions asked homecoming. At other times, forgiveness apparently requires work. Jesus praises Zacchaeus’s fourfold reimbursement of

those he has extorted as a mark of salvation. Thus, the grace of forgiveness is multifaceted.

The Catholic Catechism attests that when we damage another’s livelihood or reputation, we are obliged to make due reparation. This is not retaliation, but a commitment

to justice and recognition of how human relationships work. Unfaithfulness and betrayal damage interpersonal

bonds and effort may be necessary to restore them. An old Four Seasons song might put it this way:

“Working my way back to you.”

Elijah’s Test

The Sunday School teacher was explaining the story of Elijah the Prophet and the false prophets to her class.

She explained how Elijah build the altar, put wood upon it, cut the steer in pieces and laid it upon the altar.

And then Elijah commanded the people of God to fill four barrels of water and pour it over the altar.

He had them do this four times. “Now,” said the teacher, “can anyone in the class tell me

why the Lord would have Elijah pour water over the steer on the altar?” A little girl raised her hand with great enthusiasm and said,

“to make the gravy?”
