It is at Mass when we experience a line from the Luke’s
Gospel fulfilled most clearly: “…the Son of Man has come to seek and to save what was lost.”
Note
that Jesus was condemned for going to a house full of sinners. And what will Jesus do this
evening? He will come to this
chapel which is also full of sinners.
And
how did Zacchaeus respond to our Lord’s presence? “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 over…” Zacchaeus, after coming to the Lord, went out into the world
to serve.
That’s
precisely why we come to Mass and how we should ask when Mass is done.
