Mixing and matching All Saints with the 31st Sunday in Ordinary Time, John retells the story of Jesus and Zacchaeus, trying to put it in context and to highlight some of the different ways it is translated. We then have a conversation around: What does Jesus see? How does Zacchaeus respond? What do we see? How do we respond?
To mark All Saints we remember that we gather around Christ’s table with all the saints who have gone before, and our departed loved ones, and we give thanks for God’s faithfulness to them and us.
He asks;
- What are you invited to see in the person or people you are remembering?
- How has God been faithful?
