Luke 19: 1-10 "Zacchaeus"
A prayer, in the form of a collect, based on a bible reading for today.
A collect based on Luke 19: 1-10
Jesus, you went beyond social comfort zones to engage with outcasts and misfits.
Zacchaeus’s courage, born of desperation at a life emptied of meaning, led to a sacred moment of invitation, welcome, and acceptance.
Nothing can ever come between us and the love of God; not even the riches and social isolation in which many become cocooned.
Christ, come and eat with us, so your presence at our table encourages new ways of justice and healing.
Amen
