“When he reached the place, Jesus looked up and said to him, “Zacchaeus, make haste and come down; for I must stay at your house today.” So he made haste and came down, and received him joyfully. And when they saw it they all murmured, “He has gone in to be the guest of a man who is a sinner.” And Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, “Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have defrauded any one of anything, I restore it fourfold.” And Jesus said to him, “today salvation has come to this house, since he also is a son of Abraham. For the Son of man came to seek and to save the lost.” Luke 19:5-10. St. Elizabeth Ann Seton said, “Our Lord himself I saw…in this venerable sacrament of confession. I felt as if my chains fell, as those of St. Peter, at the touch of the divine messenger.” Lord Jesus happy are those who make haste and receive You with joy! Happy are those who
repent and confess their sins. Happy are we when You forgive us and blessed are those who make restitution for all the wrong they have done. Amen. “Let your light shine!!” Be blessed. Larry.
