“Now go, and remember that I am sending you out as lambs

among wolves. Don’t take any money with you,

nor a traveller’s bag, nor an extra pair of sandals”

(Luke 10:3-4). With these words, Jesus sends the

disciples with a difficult and demanding mission.

They were sent with the minimum necessities and

security. It was not sure that the people would

accept them but they were commanded to say,

“The kingdom of God is here and now” (Luke 10:

9), which means that they must be prepared to encounter it.

We, as continuers of the Saving Mission of Christ, should

keep in mind the following guidelines:

L 5 6 7 8 9 rust in the Lord � What is demanded us of is a living faith

and the life that corresponds to it. We should never bother about

material things like money, food, etc.

Let us be the Messengers of Peace and Love – We, as disciples,

should not only wish “May God’s peace be on this house”(Luke 10:5)

but try our level best to be peace – bringers and peace – makers in

imitating our Master and Lord.

Let us never lose our courage - If Jesus was ready to face the

difficulties, problems and disappointments in his life, then we as his

disciples must be put up with the problems that crop up in our life.

Let us not be afraid of anything – Jesus, our Savior, has promised

to us that He will be with us till the end of time (Mt 28:20). So we

have only to rejoice as we belong to Christ.

Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life (Jn 14:6). When we

walk in the footsteps of Christ, we are in the realization of His nearness

to him. With our closeness to him in our everyday life, let us proclaim

to others that the kingdom of God is here and now. Thus, the people

may accept the fatherhood of God and brotherhood of humankind.

APOSTOLIC JOURNEY OF HIS HOLINESS POPE FRANCIS TO POLAND

ON THE OCCASION OF THE XXXI WORLD YOUTH DAY (27-31 JULY 2016)

HOLY MASS FOR WORLD YOUTH DAY

HOMILY OF THE HOLY FATHER

Campus Misericordiae - Kraków

Sunday, 31 July 2016

Dear young people, you have come to Krakow to meet Jesus. 

Today’s Gospel speaks to us of just such a meeting between Jesus and

a man named Zacchaeus, in Jericho (cf. Lk 19:1-10).   There Jesus

does not simply preach or greet people; as the Evangelist tells us, he

passed through the city (v. 1).  In other words, Jesus wants to draw

near to us personally, to accompany our journey to its end, so that his life

and our life can truly meet.

Page 6: The Voice of the Pastor - archdioceseofmadurai.comarchdioceseofmadurai.com/wp-content/uploads/newsletters/September... · The Voice of the Pastor Y our Loving Archbishop, (+Most Rev.

An amazing encounter then takes place, with Zacchaeus, the chief

“publican” or tax collector.  Zacchaeus was thus a wealthy collaborator

of the hated Roman occupiers, someone who exploited his own people,

someone who, because of his ill repute, could not even approach the

Master.  His encounter with Jesus changed his life, just as it has changed,

and can daily still change, each of our lives.  But Zacchaeus had to face

a number of obstacles in order to meet Jesus.  It was not easy for him;

he had to face a number of obstacles. At least three of these can also

say something to us.

The first obstacle is smallness of stature.  Zacchaeus couldn’t see

the Master because he was little.  Even today we can risk not getting

close to Jesus because we don’t feel big enough, because we don’t think

ourselves worthy.  This is a great temptation; it has to do not only with

self-esteem, but with faith itself.  For faith tells us that we are “children

of God… that is what we are” (1 Jn 3:1).  We have been created in

God’s own image; Jesus has taken upon himself our humanity and his

heart will never be separated from us; the Holy Spirit wants to dwell

within us.  We have been called to be happy for ever with God! 

That is our real “stature”, our spiritual identity: we are God’s beloved

children, always.  So you can see that not to accept ourselves, to live

glumly, to be negative, means not to recognize our deepest identity.  It is

like walking away when God wants to look at me, trying to spoil his

dream for me.  God loves us the way we are, and no sin, fault or mistake

of ours makes him change his mind.  As far as Jesus is concerned – as

the Gospel shows – no one is unworthy of, or far from, his thoughts.  No

one is insignificant.  He loves all of us with a special love; for him all of

us are important: you are important!  God counts on you for what you

are, not for what you possess.  In his eyes the clothes you wear or the

kind of cell phone you use are of absolutely no concern.  He doesn’t

care whether you are stylish or not; he cares about you, just as you are! 

In his eyes, you are precious, and your value is inestimable.

At times in our lives, we aim lower rather than higher.  At those

times, it is good to realize that God remains faithful, even obstinate, in his

love for us.  The fact is, he loves us even more than we love ourselves. 

He believes in us even more than we believe in ourselves.  He is always

“cheering us on”; he is our biggest fan.  He is there for us, waiting with

patience and hope, even when we turn in on ourselves and brood over

our troubles and past injuries.  But such brooding is unworthy of our

spiritual stature!  It is a kind of virus infecting and blocking everything; it

closes doors and prevents us from getting up and starting over.  God, on

the other hand, is hopelessly hopeful!  He believes that we can always

get up, and he hates to see us glum and gloomy.  It is sad to see young

people who are glum.  Because we

are always his beloved sons and

daughters.  Let us be mindful of this

at the dawn of each new day.  It will

do us good to pray every morning:

“Lord, I thank you for loving me; I

am sure that you love me; help me to

be in love with my own life!”  Not

with my faults, that need to be

corrected, but with life itself, which

is a great gift, for it is a time to love and to be loved.

Zacchaeus faced a second obstacle in meeting Jesus: the paralysis

of shame.  We spoke a little about this yesterday.  We can imagine what

was going on in his heart before he climbed that sycamore.  It must have

been quite a struggle – on one hand, a healthy curiosity and desire to

know Jesus; on the other, the risk of appearing completely ridiculous. 

Zacchaeus was public figure, a man of power, but deeply hated.  He

knew that, in trying to climb that tree, he would have become a

laughingstock to all.  Yet he mastered his shame, because the attraction

of Jesus was more powerful.  You know what happens when someone is

so attractive that we fall in love with them: we end up ready to do things

we would never have even thought of doing.  Something similar took

place in the heart of Zacchaeus, when he realized that Jesus was so

important that he would do anything for him, since Jesus alone could pull

him out of the mire of sin and discontent.  The paralysis of shame did not

have the upper hand.  The Gospel tells us that Zacchaeus “ran ahead”,

“climbed” the tree, and then, when Jesus called him, he “hurried down”

(vv. 4, 6).  He took a risk, he put his life on the line.  For us too, this is the

secret of joy: not to stifle a healthy curiosity, but to take a risk, because

life is not meant to be tucked away.  When it comes to Jesus, we cannot

sit around waiting with arms folded; he offers us life – we can’t respond

by thinking about it or “texting” a few words!

Dear young friends, don’t be ashamed to bring everything to the Lord

in confession, especially your weaknesses, your struggles and your sins.

He will surprise you with his forgiveness and his peace.  Don’t be afraid

to say “yes” to him with all your heart, to respond generously and to

follow him!  Don’t let your soul grow numb, but aim for the goal of a

beautiful love which also demands sacrifice.  Say a firm “no” to the

narcotic of success at any cost and the sedative of worrying only about

yourself and your own comfort.

After his small stature, after the paralysis of shame, there was a

third obstacle that Zacchaeus had to face.  It was no longer an interior

one, but was all around him.  It was

the grumbling of the crowd, who

first blocked him and then criticized

him: How could Jesus have entered

his house, the house of a sinner! 

How truly hard it is to welcome

Jesus, how hard it is to accept a “God

who is rich in mercy” (Eph 2:4)! 

People will try to block you, to make

you think that God is distant, rigid and insensitive, good to the good and

bad to the bad.  Instead, our heavenly Father “makes his sun rise on the

evil and on the good” (Mt 5:45).  He demands of us real courage: the

courage to be more powerful than evil by loving everyone, even our

enemies.  People may laugh at you because you believe in the gentle and

unassuming power of mercy.  But do not be afraid.  Think of the motto

of these days: “Blessed are the merciful, for they will receive mercy”

(Mt 5:7).  People may judge you to be dreamers, because you believe in

a new humanity, one that rejects hatred between peoples, one that refuses

to see borders as barriers and can cherish its own traditions without

being self-centred or small-minded.  Don’t be discouraged: with a smile

and open arms, you proclaim hope and you are a blessing for our one

human family, which here you represent so beautifully!

That day the crowd judged Zacchaeus; they looked him over, up and

down.  But Jesus did otherwise: he gazed up at him (v. 5).  Jesus looks

beyond the faults and sees the person.  He does not halt before bygone

evil, but sees future good.  His gaze remains constant, even when it is

not met; it seeks the way of unity and communion.  In no case does it

halt at appearances, but looks to the heart.  Jesus looks to our hearts,

your heart, my heart.  With this gaze of Jesus, you can help bring about

another humanity, without looking for acknowledgement but seeking

109

goodness for its own sake, content to maintain a pure heart and to fight

peaceably for honesty and justice.  Don’t stop at the surface of things;

distrust the worldly cult of appearances, cosmetic attempts to improve

our looks.  Instead, “download” the best “link” of all, that of a heart which

sees and transmits goodness without growing weary.  The joy that you have

freely received from God, please, freely give away (cf. Mt 10:8): so many

people are waiting for it!  So many are waiting for it from you.  

Finally let us listen to the words that Jesus spoke to Zacchaeus, which

to be seem meant for us today, for each one of us: “Come down, for I

must stay at your house today” (v. 5).  “Come down, for I must stay with

you today.  Open to me the door of your heart”.  Jesus extends the same

invitation to you: “I must stay at your house today”.  We can say that

World Youth Day begins today and continues tomorrow, in your

homes, since that is where Jesus wants to meet you from now on. The

Lord doesn’t want to remain in this beautiful city, or in cherished memories

alone.  He wants to enter your homes, to dwell in your daily lives: in your

studies, your first years of work, your friendships and affections, your

hopes and dreams.  How greatly he desires that you bring all this to him

in prayer!  How much he hopes that, in all the “contacts” and “chats” of

each day, pride of place be given to the golden thread of prayer!  How

much he wants his word to be able to speak to you day after day, so that

you can make his Gospel your own, so that it can serve as a compass for

you on the highways of life!

In asking to come to your house, Jesus calls you, as he did Zacchaeus,

by name.  All of us, Jesus calls by name.  Your name is precious to him. 

The name “Zacchaeus” would have made people back the think of the

remembrance of God.  Trust the memory of God: his memory is not a

“hard disk” that “saves” and “archives” all our data, his memory is a

heart filled with tender compassion, one that finds joy in “erasing” in us

every trace of evil.  May we too now try to imitate the faithful memory

of God and treasure the good things we have received in these days.  In

silence, let us remember this encounter, let us preserve the memory of

the presence of God and his word, and let us listen once more to the

voice of Jesus as he calls us by name.  So let us now pray silently,

remembering and thanking the Lord wanted us to be here and has come

here to meet us.
