Today in Orthodoxy is the well known Sunday of Zacchaios and the Gospel reading is taken form Luke 19:1-10. Father Paul shares with us the necessary first step in the spiritual life is a willingness or desire to know God. We learn from Zacchaios that we cannot let obstacles or limitations hinder us in seeing Jesus. Our Lord recognized Zacchaios' desire and approached him at that moment as He will do for us and if we too repent we can find salvation.
