During a nationally televised football game, one of

the roving reporters interviewed some rather unusu-

al fans. Dressed in outrageous costumes and painted

from head to toe in team colors, they were asked

why they went to such extremes for a football game.

They answered that they would do anything to sup-

port their team and help them win. The team might

not have won, but those fans got their 15 minutes of

fame!

As Jesus is making His way through the city of Jeri-

cho, He spotted Zacchaeus who had climbed a tree

to see Jesus because it was the only way he could

see over the crowd. When others criticized Jesus for

dining at the house of a ‘sinner’ (he was the chief

tax collector), Zacchaeus defended himself, showing

his generosity and his devotion. He went above and

beyond what the law required.

If our faith and our religion are important to us, we

have to ask ourselves what we are willing to do for

it. It’s one thing to say we believe or that we love

God; it’s another to put it into action. Would you

explain faith to someone who needed to hear it? Or

is that the job of the priest? Would you pray in a

public place? Would you work for justice? Would

you feed the hungry? Would you volunteer for ser-

vice at your parish? What would you do for the sake

of faith?

November 3 ~ Thirty-first Sunday of Ordinary Time

There is a simple lesson not to be missed in today’s gospel.

You don’t have to be rich or poor, have a high-powered job or

are looking for a job for Jesus to come to your house. All that

is required is that you open your heart to Him. Zacchaeus was

“seeking to see who Jesus was”. The reward for this seeker

was an encounter – one that got people talking! Today, people

are still seeking to see who Jesus is. Some may be unaware

that He is what is missing in their lives. Knowing the im-

portance of Jesus in your own life, is there someone you know

who is a seeker, like Zacchaeus, that you can introduce to

Jesus?
