Jesus “comes to us and calls us by name. If we welcome him, he will come to our house.”

Concerning the encounter between Jesus and Zacchaeus, who collected taxes on behalf of the Roman rulers, Francis said that Zacchaeus was rich, hated, and branded a traitor and a sinner.

However, despite his lowliness, Zacchaeus “felt the need to look for another point of view” and “waits for someone who can relieve him of his condition.

“How do we see ourselves?” Francis asked the Angelus crowd.
