Excerpt:
Zacchaeus must have been very unhappy. As a tax collector, he was both hated and corrupt. That he wanted to see Jesus must have meant that he was searching for the happiness, meaning and purpose lacking in his life.
God's greatest blessing - Children!!

St. Narcissus, pray for us!!
It is in our complete union with God that we find complete happiness and that union can only take place when we have been completely freed from the trappings of this world.

The Lover and the Beloved
The love between God and humanity is the love between a lover and the beloved. There has to be a consummation of that love in order for it to be fulfilled. Just as the sperm takes itself into the egg and in the consummation of the two a new human being with life and hopes and dreams is born, so too the consummation of the lover and the beloved. God the lover takes us the beloved and the love is consummated to produce something beyond the wonder of a human being. (Can there be anything more wonderful than a human being? What a great creation God made!) The catch is this - the beloved (humanity) must have as great a desire for God the lover as God has for the beloved. Only then can the love reach the level of full completeness. And it must not wait until life ends for it is only in life that full consummation takes place and then carries us to the place we were born to be.
God bless!!
God bless!!
