Father Anthony uses this passage to discuss the importance of charity—both in giving and receiving—reminding us that Christ calls us to care for those in need while also humbly accepting help when we are in need ourselves.

John 20: 19-23

Father Anthony reflects on the story of Zacchaeus, showing how a single moment of openness can transform an entire life. He reveals how Jesus seeks out the lost—not to condemn them, but to call them down from their hiding places and into friendship with God. Zacchaeus’s joyful response becomes a powerful reminder that conversion begins the moment we let Christ step into our home, our habits, and our heart.
