Word for Tuesday November 18. St. Rose Philippini Duchesne.

“When he reached the place, Jesus looked up and said ‘Zacchaeus come down quickly, for today I must stay at your house.’ And he came down quickly and received him with joy. When they saw this, they began to grumble, saying ‘He has gone to stay at the house of a sinner…Jesus said ‘Today salvation has come to this house…For the Son of Man came to save what was lost.” Luke 19:5-7, 9-10. “This is purity of heart – when you see sinners or sick people, to have compassion on them, and be tender-hearted towards them.”

Let us pray, Oh Jesus, how can we ever thank You enough. We are poor sinners, and we are the ones You came to save. Hear our prayers for others Lord, who are in great need of You. We pray for miracles of grace for all who have gone astray. In Jesus’ holy name. Amen. “Let your light shine!!” Be blessed. Larry.
