31st Sunday in Ordinary Time
“Behold, half of my possessions, Lord,
I shall give to the poor,
and if I have extorted anything from
anyone I shall repay it four times.”
Luke 19:1-10
As we approach the end of this liturgical year we find the
readings focusing on the end time, when Jesus will come again to
judge the living and dead. Our faith tells us that the world will
end with this final judgment. Paul writes to the Thessalonians
about their concerns over when this event would occur. These
letters predate the written gospels and show the early Church’s
preoccupation with this Final Judgment. Here we are 2000 years
later, and Jesus has still not come. But that doesn’t mean He
won’t. In the meantime we look at our lives to see how well we
live the gospel message.
In the gospel Zacchaeus finds salvation by reforming his
life. Jesus’ encounter with him marks the last time Jesus will
encounter a sinner before His triumphal entry into Jerusalem
that leads to His death on the Cross.
Jesus’ long journey toward Jerusalem in Luke’s gospel nears
its end. Soon Jesus will suffer, die and rise. We do not know when
our journey will end. But one day it will end. Are we ready?
Along the way Jesus lays down very harsh terms for those
who want to follow Him. For example, He tells His disciples to
abandon parents, give up your wealth, etc., and each time
someone who begs to follow Him hears these demands they
choose to go away. Zacchaeus becomes one who makes the
commitment.
Zacchaeus finds salvation, but what about us? We call
ourselves disciples of Jesus. Yet, how do we reflect that name
‘disciple’ in how we live our lives? Zacchaeus made hard choices
which involved giving up a comfortable lifestyle. What hard
choices have we made in our decision to follow Jesus?

Ascension of Our Lord Catholic Church
The Enthusiastic Steward
Have you ever been at a concert and rushed the stage to
get closer to your favorite act? Has your favorite sports
team won a championship, and you just wanted to
celebrate for hours? For those of us who are parents, have
you ever gone to great lengths to get the perfect photo at a
first Communion, graduation, or some other ceremony in
which your child was involved?
When moments in our life are filled with enthusiasm, we
can find ourselves overwhelmed and doing things we might
not normally do. I bet Zacchaeus didn’t have a regular habit
of climbing trees. However, he climbed one so he could see
Jesus more clearly. His enthusiasm led him up a tree, an
action he probably would not normally do.
Following Jesus Christ is not easy in this world of ours.
Trying to do it without feeling any enthusiasm makes it
doubly difficult. Enthusiasm is something that can be
grown, but we must be the ones who foster it. When we see
the fruits of our stewardship, enthusiasm grows. When we
spend time in prayer and in God’s Word getting to know
Jesus better, enthusiasm grows. When we work to make
Jesus the most important person in our life, enthusiasm
grows. If we find ourselves too often
with our feet on the ground and
growing in apathy, perhaps it is time
to do what it takes to bring on that
desire to climb a tree.
-Tracy Earl Welliver, MTS
Stewardship is Discipleship
Building a Future Full of Hope
As Catholics, we firmly believe that God has a plan for our
lives! He calls some to marriage, some to the priesthood, and
others to religious life. Some remain as generous single
people. Fully living our own vocations—and teaching young
people how to discern God’s call—is a serious duty, but also
a joyful one. Today begins National Vocation Awareness
Week. During this week, please pray about how God is calling
you to live your vocation more deeply. Encourage the young
people in your life—children, grandchildren, students, and
friends—to be open if God calls them to priesthood or
consecrated life.
