Responsorial Psalm

Psalms 3: 2-3, 4-5, 6-7

2I - How many are my foes, LORD! How many rise against me! 3How many say of me, “There is no salvation for him in God.” Selah 4But you, LORD, are a shield around me; my glory, you keep my head high. 5II - With my own voice I will call out to the LORD, and he will answer me from his holy mountain. Selah 6I lie down and I fall asleep, [and] I will wake up, for the LORD sustains me. 7I do not fear, then, thousands of people arrayed against me on every side.
Alleluia

Gospel

Luke 19: 1-10

1He came to Jericho and intended to pass through the town. 2Now a man there named Zacchaeus, who was a chief tax collector and also a wealthy man, 3was seeking to see who Jesus was; but he could not see him because of the crowd, for he was short in stature. 4So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore tree in order to see Jesus, who was about to pass that way. 5When he reached the place, Jesus looked up and said to him, “Zacchaeus, come down quickly, for today I must stay at your house.” 6And he came down quickly and received him with joy. 7When they all saw this, they began to grumble, saying, “He has gone to stay at the house of a sinner.” 8But Zacchaeus stood there and said to the Lord, “Behold, half of my possessions, Lord, I shall give to the poor, and if I have extorted anything from anyone I shall repay it four times over.” 9And Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house because this man too is a descendant of Abraham. 10For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save what was lost.” The Parable of the Ten Gold Coins.
