Thirty-First Sunday in Ordinary Time, 3rd November

Luke 19:1–10

Jesus entered Jericho and was passing through it. A man was
there named Zacchaeus; he was a chief tax collector and was rich. He was trying
to see who Jesus was, but on account of the crowd he could not, because he was
short in stature. So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore tree to see him,
because he was going to pass that way. When Jesus came to the place, he looked
up and said to him, "Zacchaeus, hurry and come down; for I must stay at
your house today." So he hurried down and was happy to welcome him. All
who saw it began to grumble and said, "He has gone to be the guest of one
who is a sinner." Zacchaeus stood there and said to the Lord, "Look,
half of my possessions, Lord, I will give to the poor; and if I have defrauded
anyone of anything, I will pay back four times as much." Then Jesus said
to him, "Today salvation has come to this house, because he too is a son
of Abraham. For the Son of Man came to seek out and to save the lost."

Reflection

Of all my desires, which is the authentic one?

How does my desire change me?
