31st Sunday, Year C

The well known story of Jesus and Zacchaeus is one of the more popular stories that appears in animation and in children’s illustrated Bible story books. There is far more to the story than Zacchaeus climbing in the tree. It is an account that serves as a capstone narrative to the five or six stories that appears in Luke – but not as a Sunday gospel. The fullness of Luke’s account is far more than a children’s narrative.

Take a moment and consider all that Jesus’ parable has to offer.  Do it from the comfort of your back porch!
