We listened the Gospel about Zacchaeus and you should think whether you would like to be on Zacchaeus’ place? Would you like to climb up on the tree and look at prophet Jesus, at Messiah, to look at Him with hope that He would come to your house? Would you like to do it? Surely. But a lot of time passed. How can we do it now?

Jesus Christ said to the people: “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” (Mtw., IV: 12-17) How can it happen? How can the God’s Kingdom be at hand? First of all, it was always with us.

Jeremiah was one of the major prophets of the Hebrew Bible. Jeremiah is traditionally credited with authoring the Book of Jeremiah, 1 Kings, 2 Kings and the Book of Lamentations. Judaism considers the Book of Jeremiah part of its canon, and regards Jeremiah as the second of the major prophets. Islam considers Jeremiah a prophet, and he is listed as a major prophet in Ibn Kathir's canonical collection of Annals of the Prophets.

We heard the Gospel (Luke, XIV:16-24), which stated that one host arranged a great dinner for his friends. What did Jesus Christ mean by this dinner?

And the Lord did everything in order to teach these people the truth, and through them to save the world. This continued for many thousands of years. You remember Abraham, Jacob, King David, Solomon. And now the time has come when the Lord revealed to them His Son. The dinner is the knowledge of God, the truth, which God prepared for this chosen people....
