He has you in mind. Do we think about that much? The God
of the universe has us in mind, individually as persons and
together as one human family. We hear this truth in today's
Gospel story of Thomas. His doubt is likely familiar to us by
now. "Unless I see the mark of the nails in his hands and put
my finger into the nailmarks and put my hand into his side, I
will not believe." Jesus is God. He could have risen any way
he wanted. He could have risen perfectly healed, as a further
sign of his power over death and suffering. But when Thomas
encounters him, we see what Jesus chose. "Put your finger here and see my hands,
and bring your hand and put it into my side, and do not be unbelieving, but believe."
In resurrecting his body, Jesus already has Thomas in mind. Jesus retains his wounds
for Thomas, for the disciples, and for all who would doubt the sacrificial power of
love. This intentional love of Jesus is echoed by John and his disciples, who au-
thored this Gospel. "Jesus did many other signs...these are written that you may
come to believe that Jesus is the Christ...and that through this belief you may have
life in his name." From its earliest beginnings, the Church knew the power of sign
and story. When they wrote the Gospels, they had us in mind. We are all Thomas
from time to time. We need to see the mercy of God lived and real in our lives. This
can happen throughout the circumstances of our daily comings and goings. It can
also happen through meditating on the Scripture, through placing ourselves in the
stories and listening to God's voice speaking. We don't get to see what the disciples
got to see, but we know, through them, that God always has us in mind. As he re-
minds the disciples, "Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed."
On Wednesday, May 1, we will have our month-
ly Eucharistic Adoration Day. The Blessed Sac-
rament will be exposed from 9:00 am - 6:45 pm.
This is a great opportunity for us to spend some
personal time with Our Lord during this special
day. Sometimes the burdens of our lives can be
so demanding that the Lord asks us to let Him
help us carry them. Sign up sheets will be posted
in the Narthex with hours that will be open and
in need of volunteers.
“Jesus wants us all to come to Him in the Blessed Sacrament. He is there in person, just waiting for you. Nowhere on Earth are you more wel-come, nowhere on Earth are you more loved, than by Jesus truly present in the Blessed Sacrament.” - Mother Theresa
