Z acchaeus was not a popular man. The short, wealthy chief tax collector was

probably one of the most despised men in the community. The tax collectors in Israel were known for “taking a little off the top.” And they were working for the oppressive Romans who were taxing the Jewish peo-ple. Little wonder tax collectors were at the very bottom of the popularity list of the time.

Unpopular as Zacchaeus would have been, this is precisely the person whom Jesus seeks in this week’s Gospel read-ing. The Gospel of Luke tells us that as Jesus was passing through the city of Jer-icho, Zacchaeus was anxious to see Je-sus. He climbed up a sycamore tree to get a better look, and to his surprise, it was not just Zacchaeus who was seeking Je-sus but actually Jesus who was seeking Zacchaeus! Jesus tells Zacchaeus that he will come to his home, much to the shock of Zacchaeus and the whole crowd.

This story offers great insight into the na-ture of God. Jesus tells Zacchaeus that he wants to dine at his house. Imagine the expressions of the other people in the crowd that day. “What kind of a prophet is this?” Going to the chief tax collector’s house was not a recipe for Jesus’ popu-larity! But God isn’t after popularity; he’s after people’s souls. Zacchaeus’ encoun-ter with Jesus changes his life. He comes down from the tree with joy. He confesses his sins of extortion and pledges to re-

store whatever he had stolen. Jesus says in the Gospel passage that he came to “seek and save what was lost.” In Zac-chaeus’ case, he has great success!

1 st Reading Reflection ~ Wisdom 11:22–12:2 ~  

This reading is a magnificent combination of poetry and religious and philosophical reflection. What a wonderful insight it is that God cannot hate the sinner. He would only create and preserve in existence what he loves. Even the most heinous sin-ner is God’s creation of love. God isn’t the enemy of the sinner; it’s the sins of the sinner that are a threat to him.

One author says of this reading that it pre-sents a “theology of anxiety,” God’s anxie-ty for those souls who have rejected him. All of his actions in the economy of salva-tion have this anxiety over the sinner at their root. Our faith in the God of love re-quires that we believe that every action he’s reported as taking in the Scriptures is inspired by one motive only—love of souls. We must always remember that God’s mercy doesn’t aim at excusing or condoning sin. He loves the sinner too much to do that. Rather, Wisdom tells us, “you overlook people’s sins that they may repent.” Our repentance is nothing other than our way of reciprocating God’s love for us. Continue page 4)

Fr. Freddie’s Installation Mass And Reception: On Saturday, Nov. 16th, at the 5:30 Vigil Mass, Fr. Freddie Chua will be officially installed as Pastor of Annunciation Church. Mass will be celebrated by Bishop David O’Connell of the San Gabriel Pastoral Region. This is meant to be a parish-wide celebration, so all are invited to attend this special Mass, as well as the recep-tion in the Parish Hall that will follow. If you would like to volunteer to help with the set-up, the reception itself, or clean-up, please call Christine Hunt in the Parish Of-fice at (626) 447-6202. We will be setting up on Saturday morning (tables/ chairs, tablecloths). We will be bringing in food for the reception, so clean up will be mini-mal, but all offers of assistance will be gratefully accepted!

Pastoral Council Hosting Friendship Sunday This Weekend: Our Pastoral Council members invite you and your family to enjoy coffee and pas-tries in the Rectory Patio following all Sunday Masses.

Change During The Prayers Of The Faithful: Have you noticed that, for the past few weeks, the Lector has invited us to offer our personal petitions in silence only? We have eliminated the phrase “out loud” in order to allow each individual to fully focus on offering their personal petitions to God, minus the potential distraction of other voices. This prayerful silence gives us the opportunity to put ourselves in God’s presence and to speak directly to Him of our need for His divine assistance. Thank you for honoring this change.

Auditions To Be Held: Auditions for “That Wonderful Night”, the pageant presented at the 4:00 p.m. Christ-mas Eve Family Mass, will be held in the Music Room on Saturday, Nov. 16th from 10:00 to 11:00 a.m. in the Music Room (Room B-2) Children of Annunciation Par-ish are invited to audition—there are Speaking and Non-Speaking parts available. Teenage and adult assistance is also needed backstage. We will have approxi-mately 7 rehearsals. Please call or text Frances Luna at (626) 327-6147.

Please contact Ruth Estrada at (626) 201-8528 to volunteer.

Christian Service Center: This year in November we will be providing Thanksgiving funds for 165 families with residences, 10 homeless families and 98 homeless single adults. We are ask-ing for your support again to assure adequate funding to provide for our neighbors in need. Please make your donation by using the special green envelopes included in your monthly envelope package, or the blue envelopes in the pews, being sure to check the box next to “Christian Service Center”. Thank you very much!

Parish Prayer Chain: The ministry of the prayer chain is to lift up to Our Lord the specific requests and concerns of our parishioners and friends. To request a prayer for someone, or to become a Prayer Warrior, please call Marie Nimmrich at (626) 448-3304, or e-mail her at: mareeelizabeth@aol.com.

Did You Know? As part of our long-standing commitment to provide pastoral care and to sup-port the healing process for victim-survivors, the Archdiocese of Los Angeles--along with the Diocese of Fresno, the Diocese of Orange, Diocese of Sac-ramento, Diocese of San Bernardino, and Diocese of San Diego--is partici-pating in the new Independent Compensation Program for Victim-Survivors of Sexual Abuse of Minors by Priests (ICP). The ICP is administered inde-pendently of the Church by Kenneth Feinberg and Camille Biros, widely rec-ognized as premier dispute resolution administrators in the country. The program is now accepting registrations from any person who has been sexu-ally abused as a minor by diocesan priests of the participating dioceses, no matter when that abuse might have occurred. Funding for the program in our Archdiocese will come from self-insured reserves, monies set aside for this purpose. We pray that this new program might provide another avenue toward healing and hope. For more information on the ICP, please visit www.californiadioceseicp.com.

2 nd Reading Reflection ~ 2 Thessalonians 1:11-2:2 ~

Written twenty years or so after Christ’s death, both the first and sec-ond letters to the Thessalonians are rich with encouragement for the local church which Paul had founded. This little church seems to have been blessed with God’s favor since it flourished, even in the absence of the apostolic presence of Paul. His praise and direction aims largely at making slight corrections in teaching and in seeing that their faith is properly expressed. In this reading, one of Paul’s concerns is the misun-derstanding that some seem to have gained from possibly fabricated re-ports that “the day of the Lord” had arrived. That phrase was used to refer to the Second Coming of Jesus.

Paul assures the faithful that the day hasn’t arrived and goes on to remind readers of what he told them while he was with them about the events which must transpire before Christ’s return. It’s worth noting that nothing Paul says suggests that the events surround the coming of the “lawless man,” who’s to precede the Second Coming, are imminent at the time of his writing. From what Paul tells us here, the common assertion that the early Christians believed that Jesus was to return at any moment could be questioned.

G ospel Reflection ~ Luke 19:1-10 ~

This week Jesus again addresses himself to a covenant outsider, Zac-chaeus, a tax collector in Jericho.

Zacchaeus was a rich man, the chief tax collector in a wealthy region. Chief tax collectors often employed tax collecting agents to do the dirty work of extortion of the local people in collaboration with the Roman au-thorities, which made these men out-casts in Jewish society. Zacchaeus’ small stature would’ve made it a ne-cessity to employ others to handle the rough stuff, which likely made him all the more hated by the local populace.

When those who observed that Je-sus had allowed himself to be invited to the house of a sinner began to murmur, Zacchaeus doesn’t dispute what they assert about him, but, by repenting, instantly turns himself into a righteous “descendant of Abra-ham,” as Jesus calls him. Zacchaeus wouldn’t have been required by the Mosaic Law to make a fourfold resti-tution for the evil he had done, still less to give half his wealth to the poor. He demonstrates for us that in the new regime which Jesus estab-lishes as the kingdom of God, cove-nant outsiders such as Zacchaeus can, in an instant, become “descendants of Abraham.”

D igging Deeper for iscussion

FORMED members can watch this week’s short “Opening the Word” VIDEO at:

AnnunciationChurch.FORMED.org

With friends or family, reflect on the following questions:

Imagine that Jesus showed up and asked to visit your house. How would you respond? Why might we be hesitant to welcome Jesus to our homes?

In what ways is Zacchaeus’ life changed as a result of his encoun-ter with Jesus?

P rayer: Building on today’s Gos-pel reading, imagine Jesus has

come to visit your town. But instead of going to the house of your parish priest or even the most generous, kind, faithful members of your com-munity, he goes straight to the home of the person you dislike the most. How would that make you feel? Would you rejoice that Jesus was calling this perhaps lost soul into a relationship? Or would you be like the people in Zacchaeus’ time—grumbling and complaining, wonder-ing why on earth Jesus would want anything to do with that person? Now imagine that as Jesus gets ready to enter that person’s house, he turns to you. What would you say to Jesus before he entered that house?

R esolution: Think of the person in your life that you most strug-

gle with for whatever reason. Ask Jesus to visit that person, to show his love to him or her in a new way. Ask him how you can be a better friend, neighbor, etc., to that person. Perhaps ask Jesus how you can show his love to him or her?

Lạy Thiên Chúa con thờ là Vua của

con, xin chúc tụng Thánh Danh muôn

thuở muôn đời.

Suy Niệm

Ước ao nhìn mặt Đức Giêsu, đó là sự

tò mò tự nhiên hay lời mời gọi của

tình thương? Thiên Chúa đã luôn

luôn tìm kiếm chúng ta, mọi người và

từng người, chỉ có điều chúng ta có

ao ước gặp Ngài hay không? Chúng

ta có dám vượt qua đám đông xô bồ

đang bon chen xô lấn cuộc đời để đến

với Ngài hay không? Có dám mạnh

dạn để đáp trả lời mời gọi của Ngài và

đón tiếp Ngài hay không? Nếu chỉ một

lần gặp gỡ Đức Giêsu mà Giakêu đã

đánh đổi tất cả thì chúng ta hằng ngày

đến nhà thờ để hiệp dâng Thánh Lễ,

chúng ta có sẵn sàng đón nhận Chúa

Giêsu Thánh Thể vào trong tâm hồn

và có dám để Thiên Chúa biến đổi

chúng ta hay không? Điều còn lại của

chúng ta là biết lắng nghe và sẵn

sàng đáp trả, dám can đảm sám hối

và canh tân đời sống để được ơn cứu

độ.

Tin Mừng Lc 19,1-10

✠Tin Mừng Chúa Giê-su Ki-tô theo thánh Lu-ca.

Sau khi vào Giê-ri-khô, Đức Giê-su đi ngang qua

thành phố ấy. Ở đó có một người tên là Da-kêu; ông

đứng đầu những người thu thuế, và là người giàu có.

Ông ta tìm cách để xem cho biết Đức Giê-su là ai,

nhưng không được, vì dân chúng thì đông, mà ông ta

lại lùn. Ông liền chạy tới phía trước, leo lên một cây

sung để xem Đức Giê-su, vì Người sắp đi qua đó.

Khi Đức Giê-su tới chỗ ấy, thì Người nhìn lên và nói

với ông: “Này ông Da-kêu, xuống mau đi, vì hôm nay

tôi phải ở lại nhà ông!” Ông vội vàng tụt xuống, và

mừng rỡ đón rước Người. Thấy vậy, mọi người xầm

xì với nhau: “Nhà người tội lỗi mà ông ấy cũng vào

trọ!” Ông Da-kêu đứng đó thưa với Chúa rằng: “Thưa

Ngài, tôi xin lấy phân nửa tài sản của tôi mà cho

người nghèo; và nếu tôi đã chiếm đoạt của ai cái gì,

tôi xin đền gấp bốn.” Đức Giê-su mới nói về ông ta

rằng: “Hôm nay, ơn cứu độ đã đến cho nhà này, bởi

người này cũng là con cháu tổ phụ Ábra-ham. Vì Con

Người đến để tìm và cứu những gì đã mất.”

¿ Por qué pasan cosas bue-nas a las personas malas?

¿No te parece que esta es una pregunta extraña? ¿No estamos acostumbrados a luchar con las cosas malas que les pasan a las personas buenas? Es cierto, pe-ro cuando cosas buenas le pa-san a los demás, especialmente a quienes no lo merecen, que-jarse es lo más natural. ¿Por qué algunas personas parecen que “se salen con la suya” mien-tras dedicamos nuestras vidas ser guiadas por la voluntad de Dios? Así como el recolector de impuestos, Zaqueo estafó y se hizo rico a costa de su propio pueblo. ¿Por qué Jesús quiere ser amable con él? ¡No es justo! “HOY ME VOY A QUEDAR EN TU CASA”

El tema de las “cosas buenas para las personas malas” puede ocasionar demasiada angustia, igual que el problema de cosas malas que le pasan a las perso-nas buenas. Ambas situaciones tocan uno de los misterios más profundos de la existencia hu-mana: ¿es el universo justo? ¿Es Dios justo? Esto es lo que hace que la multitud se queje de Jesús favoreciendo a Zaqueo. ¿Por qué Jesús se hace amigo de ese pecador? En el Evangelio de Lucas, esta

es la tercera queja hacia Jesús (ver Lucas 5:27-33 y 5:25-15). Sin embargo, ese encuentro con la persona de Zaqueo es dife-rente. En los otros eventos, Je-sús responde a sus críticos, pe-ro aquí es Zaqueo quien habla. No solamente Zaqueo se com-

promete a retribuir a quienes estafó y a dar la mitad de sus bienes a los pobres. En este punto en el Evangelio, Jesús está viajando a Jerusalén, en donde él sabe que va a morir. Ninguna otra persona que Jesús encuentra en este viaje ha res-pondido tan fácil como lo hizo Zaqueo a la llamada de Jesús; primero, bajar del árbol, des-pués “bajar” de su vida de rico y la corrupción que lo sustentaba. Aunque Zaqueo no viajó con Jesús a Jerusalén, Zaqueo en-tendió con claridad las exigen-cias del discipulado. Esta historia nos da una pista de por qué cosas buenas podría pasarles a las personas malas: es la paciencia de Dios, con Za-queo y también con nosotros, mientras Dios espera nuestra respuesta, para que seamos los discípulos que Dios nos llama a ser.
