Let us remember that we are in the holy presence of God.
Lord Jesus, you called Zacchaeus by his name and enabled him to grow. I ask you to enter my life in a new way this day that I may grow in stature and wisdom and grace as the person you call me to be. Inspire me to follow you more closely and help me to live in such a way that I encourage others and bring life to them. No one is small in your eyes; let no one be small in mine. Amen. Saint John Baptist de La Salle...pray for us. Live Jesus in our hearts...forever!
