God includes those who are lost, those who have made mistakes, those who Saturday, November 9th, 5:00pm have been unjust with others. When Jesus eats with Zacchaeus, salvation comes into the Euch. Min: C. Klement, N. Gette, house; that is, Zacchaeus is invited to the banquet of God, which is a banquet of justice, C. Rauschuber, D. Gantt, sharing, and self-giving toward others. When it appears that Zacchaeus will lose, since J. Johnston he will give half of what he owns to the poor and repay all he has stolen, when it seems Lectors: N. Gette he will become poorer, it is when paradoxically Zacchaeus is happier. Music: Jill/Lana Zacchaeus, the story says, was a short man; but Jesus sees him and, in doing so, Acoylte: I. Rodriguez restores his dignity as a person and as a being created by God. When others do not see Servers: M. Hess, H. & J. Dempsey, him, the manner in which Jesus sees at him restores his humanity and reincorporates A. Pham him into the community. When Jesus entered his life, Zacchaeus sees an opportunity to change. He lets salvation enter his house: the salvation is Jesus, but the consequence Sunday, November 10th, 8:15am of letting Jesus enter his house is a total change of life. Zacchaeus opens his heart to the Euch. Min: J. VanHoorebeke, D. Wolf, salvation that God offers him and begins to build a new future, which is not based on N.J. Roessner, J. Prescher, appearances or image, but on the love of God and in trust. Jesus returns to Zacchaeus G. Wolf his own image as a son of God: much better, more dignified, and glorious than that of Lectors: H. Dieter, R. Pelzel the rich man who inspired fear, was isolated, and therefore, less human. Music: “One Voice” Group For Reflection Acoylte: J. Morales Today Jesus looks at me and tells me that he wants to stay in my house. Servers: I. & Z. Gibson, C. McLean, What opportunities are opened to change some things in myself? Does H. & L. Denney it mean a new opportunity for me of salvation and happiness? Sunday, November 10th, 11:15am Euch. Min: C. Wolf, S. Gaylord, L. Tiller, P. Henry, R. Schmidlkofer Lectors: K. Schroeder, P. Henry Music: 11:15AM Choir Acoylte: R. Lira Servers: I. Hernandez, R. Saenz, J. Dougherty, Y.
