“Thomas, one of the Twelve, called the Twin, was not with them when Jesus came. So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord.” But he said to them, “Unless I see in his hands the print of the nails, and place my finger in the mark of the nails, and place my hand in his side, I will not believe.” Eight days later, his disciples were again in the house, and Thomas was with them. The doors were shut, but Jesus came and stood among them, and said, “Peace be with you.” Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here, and see my hands; and put out your hand, and place it in my side; do not be faithless, but believing.” Thomas a Kempis said, “If you prepare within your heart a fitting dwelling place, Christ will come and console you.”

Let us pray, Loving Father we pray for a believing heart that it may not be by sight but by the heart that we may always believe; holding tenderly in our hearts the love of Your Son, treasuring His tremendous sacrifice and putting in action his commands. Amen. “Let your light shine!!” Be blessed. Larry.
