There is an opening at St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church in Rocky Mount for a part-time Coordinator of Religious Education and Sacramental Preparation. Applicants should have a solid grounding in Catholic religious education and a desire to work with the Administrator of the parish in providing a faithful and engaging catechetical program for the children and youth of the parish. This position is for 10 hours a week. The hours are flexible but do include Sundays and some evenings. Some Spanish language skills are preferred. Applicants are asked to submit a resume and a completed job application to the Administrator of the parish, Father Kevin Segerblom at ksegerblom@richmonddiocese.org. Applications can be found on the Catholic Diocese of Richmond website at richmonddiocese.org.

Poor Thomas! He made one remark and has been branded as “Doubting Thomas” ever since. But if he doubted, he also believed. He made what is certainly the most explicit statement of faith in the New Testament: “My Lord and My God!” and, in so expressing his faith, gave Christians a prayer that will be said till the end of time. He also occasioned a compliment from Jesus to all later Christians: “Have you come to believe because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed” (John 20:29).

Thomas should be equally well-known for his courage. Perhaps what he said was impetuous—since he ran, like the rest, at the showdown—but he can scarcely have been insincere when he expressed his willingness to die with Jesus. The occasion was when Jesus proposed to go to Bethany after Lazarus had died. Since Bethany was near Jerusalem, this meant walking into the very midst of his enemies and to almost certain death. Realizing this, Thomas said to the other apostles, “Let us also go to die with him” (John 11:16b).

Thomas shares the lot of Peter the impetuous, James and John, the “sons of thunder,” Philip and his foolish request to see the Father—indeed all the apostles in their weakness and lack of understanding. We must not exaggerate these facts, however, for Christ did not pick worthless men. But their human weakness again points up the fact that holiness is a gift of God, not a human creation; it is given to ordinary men and women with weaknesses; it is God who gradually transforms the weaknesses into the image of Christ, the courageous, trusting, and loving one.
