The Reclamation of Thomas

Readings for Divine Mercy Sunday - Acts 5:12-16;  John 20:19-31How would it feel to you to go around for the rest of your life with an adjective attached to your name that seemed to denigrate you?  I don't think any of us would like that.  And yet we still refer to Thomas as Doubting Thomas.  But really, Thomas wasn't a bad guy at all.  He had courage.  And more importantly, he knew what he needed to grow in his faith of the Risen Christ.  Can we say the same about us?  What is it we need today in order for our faith in this incredible miracle to grow?As we move through this Easter Octave and season, we keep Pope Francis and the upcoming conclave in our prayers.  May those involved in the conclave open their hearts minds, ears and eyes to the presence and invitation of the Spirit in their selection.  And thank you to all of you for continuing to listen to and share this podcast.  I'm incredibly humbled.  Have a question or comment?  I can be reached at [email protected]
