Advent is now upon us, inviting us to ponder our mortality as well as the horizon of eternal life, and inviting us to be watchful for the coming of our Savior. He is at the gates, and our time of visitation has arrived. In Luke’s account, just before Jesus weeps over Jerusalem, he encounters the tax collector Zacchaeus curiously observing him from a perch in a tree: “Zacchaeus, come down quickly, for today I must stay at your house.” May the Church in this season of conversion find the humble enthusiasm of Zacchaeus to recognize this time of visitation.
