We may not realize it but there is always someone watching us from afar. It may be our own children, youths and toddlers alike. It may be total strangers or someone from our community, church or workplace. With this in mind what example do we want to set?
Will they see us steadfast in our faith observing all that our Lord commanded us? Will they see us as life-giving? Merciful, patient and kind?
Today the Lord reminds us, “Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me.” He gave the same invitation to Zacchaeus albeit with a slight variation. Our merciful Lord did not impose any conditions rather He qualifies, He alone chooses freely to grace us with His presence and our lives will be changed from within! We become more like Him, willing to lay down our lives for Him and brethren. For we know with certainty that if we die for His namesake, we will surely rise with Him. Amen

‘I will make a good death, eagerly and generously, for the holy laws’
Eleazar, one of the foremost teachers of the Law, a man already advanced in years and of most noble appearance, was being forced to open his mouth wide to swallow pig’s flesh. But he, resolving to die with honour rather than to live disgraced, went to the block of his own accord, spitting the stuff out, the plain duty of anyone with the courage to reject what it is not lawful to taste, even from a natural tenderness for his own life. Those in charge of the impious banquet, because of their long-standing friendship with him, took him aside and privately urged him to have meat brought of a kind he could properly use, prepared by himself, and only pretend to eat the portions of sacrificial meat as prescribed by the king; this action would enable him to escape death, by availing himself of an act of kindness prompted by their long friendship. But having taken a noble decision worthy of his years and the dignity of his great age and the well earned distinction of his grey hairs, worthy too of his impeccable conduct from boyhood, and above all of the holy legislation established by God himself, he publicly stated his convictions, telling them to send him at once to Hades. ‘Such pretence’ he said ‘does not square with our time of life; many young people would suppose that Eleazar at the age of ninety had conformed to the foreigners’ way of life, and because I had played this part for the sake of a paltry brief spell of life might themselves be led astray on my account; I should only bring defilement and disgrace on my old age. Even though for the moment I avoid execution by man, I can never, living or dead, elude the grasp of the Almighty. Therefore if I am man enough to quit this life here and now I shall prove myself worthy of my old age, and I shall have left the young a noble example of how to make a good death, eagerly and generously, for the venerable and holy laws.’
With these words he went straight to the block. His escorts, so recently well disposed towards him, turned against him after this declaration, which they regarded as sheer madness. Just before he died under the blows, he groaned aloud and said, ‘The Lord whose knowledge is holy sees clearly that, though I might have escaped death, whatever agonies of body I now endure under this bludgeoning, in my soul I am glad to suffer, because of the awe which he inspires in me.’
This was how he died, leaving his death as an example of nobility and a record of virtue not only for the young but for the great majority of the nation.

Luke 19:1-10
Salvation comes to the house of Zacchaeus
Jesus entered Jericho and was going through the town when a man whose name was Zacchaeus made his appearance: he was one of the senior tax collectors and a wealthy man. He was anxious to see what kind of man Jesus was, but he was too short and could not see him for the crowd. So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore tree to catch a glimpse of Jesus who was to pass that way. When Jesus reached the spot he looked up and spoke to him: ‘Zacchaeus, come down. Hurry, because I must stay at your house today.’ And he hurried down and welcomed him joyfully. They all complained when they saw what was happening. ‘He has gone to stay at a sinner’s house’ they said. But Zacchaeus stood his ground and said to the Lord, ‘Look, sir, I am going to give half my property to the poor, and if I have cheated anybody I will pay him back four times the amount.’ And Jesus said to him, ‘Today salvation has come to this house, because this man too is a son of Abraham; for the Son of Man has come to seek out and save what was lost.’

Molitva za zdravlje
Gospodine sveti Oče, svemogući vječni Bože,
o svetkovini Blažene Djevice Marije, Gospe od Zdravlja,
hvalimo te, blagoslivljamo te i slavimo te.
Dok putujemo zemljom, tvoje spasenje
obuzima čitava čovjeka, naše tijelo i našu dušu.
Po zdravlju posve se mijenja naše stanje:
tlačenje se okreće u slobodu,
neznanje u spoznaju istine,
bolest u zdravlje,
žalost u radost,
smrt u život,
robovanje grijehu u dioništvo tvoje božanske naravi.
Po zagovoru Blažene Djevice Marije, Gospe od Zdravlja,
molimo te, udijeli nam zdravlje i duše i tijela,
da ti u zdravom tijelu uzmognemo
zdravom dušom iskazati slavu.
Amen

Malcesine är en kommun på Gardasjöns östra strand i provinsen Verona i den italienska regionen Veneto, belägen cirka 120 kilometer nordväst om Venedig och cirka 40 kilometer nordväst om Verona. Det är medlem i föreningen I Borghi più belli d’Italia (“Italiens vackraste byar”). [3]
Geografi och indelning
Kommunen Malcesine består av (från norr till söder) Navene, Campagnola, Malcesine, Val di Sogno och Cassone. Den sträcker sig längs Via Gardesana Orientale (Strada Statale 249) och ligger inbäddad mellan Gardasjön och Monte Baldos sluttningar. Malcesine är den nordligaste kommunen på Venetos strand av sjön, omedelbart norrut ligger Trentino Alto Adige.
Två av de största öarna i Gardasjön ligger i Malcesine: Isola di sogno och Isola dell’olivo (eller Isola degli olivi).
Historia
De första registrerade invånarna i området var etrusker som dateras till omkring 500 f.Kr. Efter 15 f.Kr., med Tiberius seger över rhaeterna, kom området under det romerska rikets kontroll. Efter Roms fall styrdes området i tur och ordning av östgoter, alemanner och sedan langobarderna. [4]
Mellan 400- och 500-talet byggde langobarderna ett slott på klippan där Castello Scaligero står idag. Den förstördes år 590 av frankerna. De byggde därefter om den och år 806 var de värd för kung Pepin. Efter attacker från ungrare blev slottet en del av biskopen av Veronas ägor. År 1277 tillföll slottet Alberto della Scala och förblev fram till 1387 i familjen della Scalas ägo, vars namn det fortfarande bär. Under de följande århundradena styrdes slottet och staden i tur och ordning av Visconti av Milano (fram till 1403) och Republiken Venedig (1405-1797). Kontrollen över Venedig avbröts endast av en kort period (1506–16), då området var under kejserligt styre under kejsar Maximilian I:s regeringstid. [4]
1797-98 ockuperades området av Napoleon Bonapartes styrkor, varefter Veneto blev en del av det österrikiska kejsardömet. [4][5] År 1866 blev Malcesine en del av kungariket Italien. [5]
Namnets ursprung
Det första framträdandet av toponymen går tillbaka till den 9 september 844, då termen Manessicelles resulterar i ärkediakonens testamente med betydelsen, enligt Borsatti,[6] av de dödas gravar: denna betydelse skulle bekräftas av upptäckten av några begravningar i etruskisk stil i omgivningarna uppe i området. Under århundradena finns det många dokumentära varianter: Manascicines (932), Malesicine (1023), Malesisicis (1154), Malesisinum (1159), Malasilice (1225), Malsexeno (1422), Malsesene (1611) för att bara nämna några av Maffezzoli. [7] Toponymens etymologi är dock osäker, och kretsar kring tolkningen av Malae silices eller Mala silex som “Stone hostile” eller “Bad stone”, vilket förmodligen syftar på morfologin i territoriet som kännetecknas av branta berg som reser sig på sjön, eller som “Bad paved road” av romerskt ursprung. [8]
Sevärdheter

Castello Scaligero
Malcesines mest framträdande landmärke är Castello Scaligero, som har befästningar från 1200-talet och ett äldre medeltida torn i vit natursten. Liksom slottet Sirmione vid sjöns södra ände är det uppkallat efter familjen della Scala i Verona som styrde regionen på 1200- och 1300-talen, och har de karakteristiska Ghibelline merlon-kreneleringar. Rester av en etruskisk grav har hittats inom slottets murar. De flesta av de strukturer som är synliga idag är från della Scala-perioden. [5] Slottsklockan gjöts 1442 och den är fortfarande i bruk.
I september 1786 förhördes Johann Wolfgang Goethe av den lokala domaren misstänkt för att vara en österrikisk spion efter att ha ritat skisser av slottet, och mindes händelsen i sin publicerade reserapport Italienische Reise (Italiensk resa). [9] Under perioden av österrikiskt styre, som slutade 1866 efter det tredje italienska frihetskriget, ägde stora renoveringsarbeten rum inne i slottet. [5] Österrikarna förvandlade det till en militär garnison[4] och ammunitionsförrådet de byggde användes senare av Guardia di Finanza i Kungariket Italien som fängelse. [10] Sedan 1902 har slottet varit ett nationalmonument. [5]
Idag innehåller slottet ett litet museum om Gardasjöns naturhistoria (Museo del Garda) och Monte Baldo (Museo del Baldo). Ett rum i den österrikiska kruttidskriften är tillägnat Goethe och hans besök. [11]
Palazzo dei Capitani
Palazzo dei Capitani ligger vid sjöstranden. Den byggdes av familjen Scala mellan 1200- och 1300-talet på äldre romerska och romanska lämningar. Efter att ha reducerats till ett enkelt skal, möjligen i en jordbävning eller av en brand, blev byggnaden Francesco Mercantis egendom från Verona och han förde den vidare till sina arvingar. Den 18 december 1473 såldes det till Alessandro Miniscalchi. Redan 1477 var byggnaden ombyggd i venetiansk stil. År 1618 köpte Verona byggnaden på uppdrag av Republiken Venedig för att använda den som residens för tjänstemannen Capitano del Lago. Diverse ombyggnadsarbeten följde. [12] Capitano var chef för Gardesana dell’Acqua, ett regionalt autonomt territorium under venetianskt styre. [4]
Den 20 mars 1854 överlät Verona egendomen till Malcesine och 1897 blev Malcesine ensam ägare. Det har varit ett nationalmonument sedan 1902. [12] Idag används det för utställningar och evenemang och inrymmer även det offentliga biblioteket.

Monte Baldo
Bakom Malcesine reser sig det 2 218 meter höga Monte Baldo. En linbanetur i två steg – den andra etappen med roterande hytter – tar passagerarna till 1 750 m (5 741 fot) över havet. [13] Därifrån kan man nå den högsta punkten genom att gå några kilometer söderut längs åsen.

Kyrkor
Pieve di S. Stefano (eller Sankt Stefans församlingskyrka), omnämnd för första gången på 800-talet. Dagens barockkyrka dateras till början av 1700-talet och innehåller flera konstverk, bland annat altaren i SS. Benigno e Caro (Saints Benigno och Caro, 1769) och Beata Vergine delle sette allegrezze (Jungfrun av de sju glädjeämnena, 1771), samt ett tabernakel och målningen Deposizione som tillskrivs Girolamo dai Libri. [14][15]
Santa Maria di Navene är ännu en anmärkningsvärd kyrka i staden, med anor från 1600-talet. [16]On Today’s Gospel
