2nd Sunday of Easter. So you believe?


April 23rd
Second Sunday of Easter

This weekend we see that Jesus appears to Thomas, shows him the holes in his hands and wishes him peace. He tells Thomas to believe. But he also says, “You believe because you see me, blessed are those people who believe in me even though they have not seen.”

We are all a bit like Thomas. It isn’t always easy for us to believe in God. Even though we listen to the Gospel, and hear about God’s love for us it can be difficult to keep believing when things go wrong or when we are faced with challenges or tragedy in our lives. Today we thank God for the gift of faith in our lives and pray that He will continue to bless us with the gifts of faith from God to always believe!
