USCSI REFLECTIONS

Sunday of Divine Mercy
John 20:19-31

 

My friends, if you are ever going to be a skeptic, be an honest one. Do not be ashamed of your doubts. Jesus never suggested that to follow him we had to quit thinking. Instead, he said: “you will know the truth and the truth will set you free.” I do not think the teachings of Jesus will disintegrate because you have doubts as Thomas. Jesus did not reprimand Thomas. In fact, Jesus invited Thomas to touch his wounds.
