St Elizabeth of Hungary

Ps 3; 2Maccabees 6:18-31; Luke 19:1-10

Life changing

At a retreat the preacher was asked - Did Jesus have a sense of humour? The question might have floored him but he used the example of little Zacchaeus, the tax collector, who had climbed a tree so that he could see Jesus to attract his attention. The answer was that Jesus would have laughed when he saw Zaccheaus perched on a branch of the tree. Jesus called out “Hey Zacchaeus get down here now, I need you.” Well Zacchaeus got down and the encounter with Jesus changed his life. Have you encountered an incident or experience that changed your life for the better? Would you like to reflect on that today and thank God for it?
