First Reading
WISDOM 11:12, 12:2
22 The whole world, for
you, can no more than tip a balance, like a drop of morning dew falling on the
ground.
2 And thus, gradually,
you correct those who offend; you admonish and remind them of how they have
sinned, so that they may abstain from evil and trust in you, Lord.
“The
Word of the Lord”
PSALMS 145:1-2,8-11,
13-14
1 [Hymn of Praise Of
David] I shall praise you to the heights, God my King, I shall bless your name
for ever and ever.
2 Day after day I shall
bless you, I shall praise your name for ever and ever.
8 Yahweh is tenderness
and pity, slow to anger, full of faithful love.
9 Yahweh is generous to
all, his tenderness embraces all his creatures.
10 All your creatures
shall thank you, Yahweh, and your faithful shall bless you.
11 They shall speak of
the glory of your kingship and tell of your might,
12 making known your
mighty deeds to the children of Adam, the glory and majesty of your kingship.
13 Your kingship is a
kingship for ever, your reign lasts from age to age. Yahweh is trustworthy in
all his words, and upright in all his deeds.
14 Yahweh supports all
who stumble, lifts up those who are bowed down.
Second Reading
2 THESSALONIANS 1:11,
2:2
11 In view of this we
also pray continually that our God will make you worthy of his call, and by his
power fulfil all your desires for goodness, and complete all that you have been
doing through faith;
2 please do not be too
easily thrown into confusion or alarmed by any manifestation of the Spirit or
any statement or any letter claiming to come from us, suggesting that the Day
of the Lord has already arrived.

Gospel Reading
LUKE 19:1-10
1 He entered Jericho
and was going through the town
2 and suddenly a man
whose name was Zacchaeus made his appearance; he was one of the senior tax
collectors and a wealthy man.
3 He kept trying to see
which Jesus was, but he was too short and could not see him for the crowd;
4 so he ran ahead and
climbed a sycamore tree to catch a glimpse of Jesus who was to pass that way.
5 When Jesus reached
the spot he looked up and spoke to him, 'Zacchaeus, come down. Hurry, because I
am to stay at your house today.'
6 And he hurried down
and welcomed him joyfully.
7 They all complained
when they saw what was happening. 'He has gone to stay at a sinner's house,'
they said.
8 But Zacchaeus stood
his ground and said to the Lord, 'Look, sir, I am going to give half my
property to the poor, and if I have cheated anybody I will pay him back four
times the amount.'
9 And Jesus said to
him, 'Today salvation has come to this house, because this man too is a son of
Abraham;
10 for the Son of man
has come to seek out and save what was lost.'
