*Friends, in today’s Gospel, Thomas says that he will not believe in the
Lord’s Resurrection unless he puts his finger in Jesus’ nailmarks and his
hand in Jesus’ side. Thomas is a saint especially suitable for our time.
Modernity has been marked by two great qualities: skepticism and
empiricism, the very qualities we can discern in Thomas.And when the risen
Jesus reappears, he invites the doubter to look, see, and touch. But then
that devastating line: "Have you come to believe because you have seen me?
Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed."If we stubbornly
said—even in the area of science—that we will accept only what we can
clearly see and touch and control, we wouldn’t know much about reality.
This helps us to better understand Jesus’ words to Thomas. It is not that
we who have not seen and have believed are settling for a poor substitute
for vision. No; we are being described as blessed, more blessed than
Thomas. God is doing all sorts of things that we cannot see, measure,
control, fully understand. But it is an informed faith that allows one to
fall in love with such a God.*
*Dicsőség az Atyának, a Fiúnak és a Szentléleknek most és mindörökké. Ámen.*
