Judging from the harsh things that Jesus said about wealth and
privilege, we might reasonably think it well nigh impossible for
a rich person not only to enter the gates of heaven, but also to
come into the good graces of Jesus himself. Zacchaeus was rich.
A prominent tax collector, he even seemed to have suspicions
about fraud in his own practices. He may have been small in
stature, but he was definitely into big-time operations. It also
happened that he wanted to see what Jesus was like. So, running
ahead of a big crowd’s rush, he climbed a sycamore to see what
he could see.
It’s an interesting scene—unlike my own imagined scenario. I
would have the master, eyes aflame, look at the conniver and
warn him of his impending doom. Jesus would then launch into
a rousing condemnation of exploitation and injustice. Zacchaeus
would serve as prime example.
But the Christ of Luke’s Gospel (a Gospel, mind you, that is one
of the harshest in denouncing riches and the oppression of the
poor) once again confounds expectations. “Zacchaeus, hurry
down. I want to stay at your house.”
Now I would have at least put some conditions on my visit. “Do
you promise to turn away from your greedy behavior? Are you
willing to abandon the errant ways of your business and
lifestyle?” Why do these things not cross the mind of Jesus?
He has preached about greed often enough. And here’s a real live
capitalist pig he could whale into; but instead, he asks to be
invited home. Needless to say, Zacchaeus was thrilled. He
welcomed Christ with delight.
I have to admit I would be among the murmurers. This tax-
collecting creep has gone his merry way making his commission
on the backs of the poor. Now, on a whim, he climbs up into a
tree to see Jesus (whom all of us want to talk to and have been
following for months), and he gets an interview. A money-
grubber! The gang would support me in this. To think that Jesus
is going to have dinner with the likes of Zacchaeus.
It is always fascinating to see how Jesus treats sinners, whether
tax-collectors, liars, adulterers, or cowards. It’s a wonder how he
deals with them, how he deals with us all, how he deals with all
things.
Clearly, Jesus is interested in the energy and desire of the little
man. He seems impressed by the fact that Zacchaeus would go
to such lengths to see him and would eventually stand his
ground before the daunting crowd. It is Zacchaeus’s heart, his
hope, that draws Jesus. The fact that Christ liked him seemed to
have an immediate effect on Zacchaeus. “I give half my
belongings to the poor. … If I have defrauded anyone in the least I
pay him back fourfold.”
Even here, I think Christ was too soft. I would have said, “Only
half? What about the other 50 percent? And what do you mean,
‘If I have defrauded?’ Be more specific.” But no! Jesus announces
salvation to the whole house of Zacchaeus and calls him, believe
it or not, a “true son of Abraham.” That’s that. “The Son of Man
has come to search out and save what was lost.”
And so, once again, my paltry prudence, my so-called sense of
justice, shrinks in the presence of wisdom, before whom the
whole universe is as a grain of sand or a drop of morning dew on
the earth. God, indeed, overlooks our sins so that we might
repent and thereby change. Such is the manner of infinite mercy.
For you love all things that are and loathe nothing that you have
made; for what you hated, you would not have fashioned. How
could a thing remain unless you willed it; or be preserved, had it
not been called forth by you? You spare all things, because they
are yours, O God and lover of souls. That goes for Zacchaeus.
That goes for us too.
What the Book of Wisdom tells us is that we could not even
exist if we were not loved by God. The very fact that we live
without causing our own existence is proof that we are loved
into being. We could not have been made, could not endure an
instant, unless we were willed and wanted.
We brothers and sisters of Zacchaeus, more splendidly endowed
than other creatures, have an extra gift. It is more desirable than
the majesty of mountains, more thrilling than the speed of the
finest gazelle. God, that lover of souls, wants, most of all, to
spare that gift in us. It is the gift we share with Zacchaeus, no
matter how rich or poor, how young or old, how virtuous or
sinful we might be. We are gifted with a question at the ground
of our being. And even in the worst of times, we climb trees to
find out what the answer might be. John Kavanaugh, SJ
Por las cosas duras que ha dicho Jesús sobre la riqueza y el
privilegio, nos podría parecer que es casi imposible no sólo que
un rico entre por las puertas del cielo sino que aun llegue a caer
en gracia a Jesús mismo. Zaqueo era rico. Era recaudador de
impuestos, y había sospechas de que defraudaba a la gente en su
trabajo. Era bajito, pero andaba en grandes actividades. Sucedió
también que quería saber cómo era Jesús. Así que, se fue
corriendo antes de que llegara una gran multitud de gente y se
subió a un sicómoro para poder ver algo.
Es una escena curiosa—muy diferente de lo que me imaginaría
yo. En mi versión, el Señor miraría al conspirador con ojos
ardientes y le avisaría de su castigo inminente. Luego, Jesús se
lanzaría a dar su condena de la explotación y la injusticia.
Zaqueo serviría como ejemplo principal. Pero el Cristo del
evangelio de San Lucas (un evangelio, eso sí, que es uno de los
más severos en denunciar la riqueza y la opresión de los pobres)
otra vez frustra las expectativas. “Zaqueo, baja pronto, porque
hoy me hospedaré en tu casa.”

Del escritorio del Párroco…...
November 3, 2019 3 Notre Dame de Chicago Parish
Ahora bien, yo le obligaría a cumplir con algunos requisitos
antes de que le visitara. “¿Prometes dejar de comportarte con
tanta codicia? ¿Estás dispuesto a abandonar la costumbre de
aprovecharse de los demás en los negocios y de vivir una vida tan
opulenta?” ¿Por qué no se le ocurre esto a Jesús? Ha predicado
con frecuencia sobre el pecado de la avaricia. Y aquí tiene un
verdadero cerdo capitalista para criticar; pero en vez de hacerlo,
le pide que le invite a su casa. Obviamente, Zaqueo se quedó
emocionado. Le dio la bienvenida a Cristo con mucho placer.
Tengo que confesar que estaría entre la gente que susurraron.
Este maldito recaudador de impuestos se ha ido aprovechando
tranquilamente de los pobres para hacerse rico. Ahora, por
capricho, sube a un árbol para ver a Jesús (a quien todos
nosotros hemos seguido durante meses deseando hablarle), y
consigue hablar con él. ¡Un delincuente! Todo el mundo estaría
de acuerdo conmigo. Y pensar que Jesús va a cenar en casa de
alguien como Zaqueo.
Siempre me fascina contemplar cómo Jesús trata a los pecadores,
tanto si son recaudadores de impuestos, como mentirosos,
adúlteros, o cobardes. Es un milagro cómo los puede tratar,
cómo nos puede tratar a todos nosotros, cómo se enfrenta con
todo. Está claro que a Jesús le interesa la energía y el deseo del
hombre bajito. Parece que le impresiona el hecho de que Zaqueo
se esfuerce tanto por verlo y que al final se mantenga firme ante
la muchedumbre. Es el corazón de Zaqueo, su esperanza, lo que
le atrae a Jesús.
El hecho de que a Jesús le cayó bien Zaqueo tuvo un efecto
inmediato. “Doy la mitad de mis bienes a los pobres, y si he
defraudado a alguien, le devolveré cuatro veces más.” Aún en
esto, creo que Cristo fue demasiado compasivo. Yo le hubiera
dicho, “¿Sólo la mitad? ¿Y qué pasa con el otro cincuenta por
ciento? Y ¿qué quieres decir con ‘Si le he defraudado a alguien’?
Habla claro.” ¡Pero, no! Jesús declara salvación para toda la casa
de Zaqueo y, lo crea usted o no, le llama un “verdadero hijo de
Abrahán.” Y ni una palabra más. “El Hijo del hombre ha venido a
buscar y salvar lo que estaba perdido.”
Y así, otra vez, mi insignificante prudencia, mi supuesto sentido
de justicia, se empequeñece ante la sabiduría, ante quien el
universo entero se reduce a algo tan pequeño como un grano de
arena o una gota de rocío. Desde luego, Dios no se fija en
nuestros pecados para que así podamos arrepentirnos y de este
modo cambiar. Así es la misericordia infinita.
Pues amas todo cuanto existe y nada aborreces de lo que has
hecho; pues si tú hubieras odiado alguna cosa, no la habrías
formado. ¿Y cómo podría subsistir nada si tú no quisieras; o
cómo podría conservarse sin ti? Pero a todos perdonas, porque
son tuyos, Señor, amador de las almas. Esto incluye a Zaqueo. Y
nos incluye a nosotros también.
Lo que nos enseña el Libro de Sabiduría es que ni siquiera
existiríamos si Dios no nos amara, El mismo hecho que vivimos
sin causar nuestra propia existencia es prueba de que somos
creados por amor. No podríamos haber sido creados, no
podríamos sobrevivir ni un momento, de no haber sido amados y
deseados.
Nosotros los hermanos y hermanas de Zaqueo, dotados más
espléndidamente que cualquier otra criatura, tenemos un don
extra. Es más deseable que la grandeza de las montañas, más
emocionante que la velocidad de la gacela más fina. Dios, ese
amante de las almas, desea, ante todo, dejarnos este don a
nosotros. Es el don que compartimos con Zaqueo, por muy ricos
o pobres, jóvenes o mayores, virtuosos o pecadores que seamos.
El don de una pregunta que reside en el corazón de nuestro ser.
Y aún cuando pasamos por tiempos bien difíciles, subimos al
árbol para saber cual podrá ser la respuesta.
