We live in an age of information. It’s EVERYWHERE - on our phones and tablets, on hundreds of TV channels that stream into our homes - in blogs and news-services and websites of all kinds. It’s really quite astounding. I’m sure none of what I’m saying is news to you. (Pun fully intended!) Conse-quently, it is getting more and more dif icult to distinguish the reputable from the disreputable, the relatively unbiased story from the op-ed piece, the true from the fake, the fact from iction. I don’t have to tell you the danger in all of this. No one, it seems (or almost no one) can even agree on what the “facts” are anymore. It is frustrating! And it can be paralyzing. It can stop a conversation dead in its tracks. For those of us who are struggling to be intellectually honest (that is, those of us who sincerely want to know the truth --- whatever it may be, and as best as we are able to determine) I suppose all we can do is strive to sift through the mess that is the internet and other sources of information, do our best to search and unravel, test and examine all the various strands of information that we en-counter. It takes work. It takes a great deal of persistence. It takes humility and an open mind. Yet, if we truly want to get to the bottom of something, if we really want to have a thorough, thoughtful, in-formed opinion about something --- we really have no other choice. Yet, there is something even more disappointing in our midst - something that might be a trou-bling consequence of the amount of contradictory information that comes our way, or something that might be more prevalent precisely because of the smokescreen that the internet provides - and it is this: Many of us no longer really care about what is true or real, no longer care about “evidence” or “facts”. In these instances, we simply form our own opinion in a kind of vacuum, simply hold our own ideas about things, and then simply ind somewhere on the internet (or some other form of media) where those same ideas are con irmed. For those of us who fall into this trap, we simply believe what we believe and that’s that! It doesn’t really matter what the facts are or what the evidence is or any-thing of the sort. The “truth” is whatever we say it is. End of story. Not only is this dangerous, it’s re-ally more than a little sad. Of course, there are some of us who are on the complete opposite end of the spectrum, those of us who do indeed thirst for the truth, for the facts, for what is real, but still have a really hard time ac-cepting anything unless it is unequivocally “proved” to us, have a hard time embracing things for which we can’t have 100% certainty. Those of us who fall into this category often have a hard time dealing with the kind people who speak the language of feelings and intuition, have a hard time when people talk about things that can’t be seen or felt or “known” in an empirical sense. If someone at-taches any kind of meaning or importance to a coincidence or a gut-feeling, they simply shake their heads in disbelief. All this unseen, ethereal, intangible sort of stuff is really hard for these kinds of people to believe in or accept or give any credence to. One group of people who won’t accept any evidence, and one group who needs a ton of it. As people of faith, which group ARE we? Which group SHOULD we be? Every year on this Sunday, the week after Easter, we hear the story of Thomas - the one who struggled to believe what his friends were telling him. Of course, had Jesus appeared to Thomas and not the others, they probably would have found themselves doing the very same thing. We really can’t, nor shouldn’t, be too hard on Thomas. Jesus certainly wasn’t. He was actually kind and gentle and un-derstanding of him and his doubts. If we are being completely honest with ourselves, we’d have to ad-mit that we probably would have acted the very same way. There is much that can be preached on regarding this story. One thing that seems to come out loud and clear are the questions the story forces us to consider—questions regarding faith and belief
INSIDE THE 815...
and doubt and trust and certainty - dif icult questions which lie at the very heart of what it means to be a person struggling to understand what it means to live a life for, with, and in God. Is there a God? If so, who is this God? Is God asking things of me? How do I know any of these things? How CAN I know? How can I be sure? CAN I be sure? You get the idea. So I’ll ask it again --- Should we be people who need no evidence to believe? Or should we be people who need a boatload of it, need matters of faith to be, in a very real sense, “proved” to us beyond a shadow of a doubt? The answer is neither - for an authentic life of faith lies somewhere in-between, somewhere in that gray area that at times can be unsettling, or challenging, or somewhat unclear. Let me explain what I mean. Take the irst group - the ones who don’t really care to examine the evidence, who don’t really want to know the facts or the truth or what is real. We do this all the time in matters of faith. How many of us make Jesus out to be whoever we want him to be - use his life and teachings and words and actions to support any opinion we already hold in our hearts? Love your enemies? Jesus couldn’t really mean that. Turn the other cheek? Jesus couldn’t really mean that. The last shall be irst? Jesus couldn’t really mean that. Forgive seventy times seven times? Jesus couldn’t really mean that. Pay someone a full day’s wage for only one hour of work, or welcome back a son that has gone astray and squandered everything, or give all our extra possessions away, or lay down our lives for our friends? Jesus couldn’t really mean that. You get the picture. In these instances, we’re not really looking for the truth, not really sincerely desiring to discover what God is asking of us. Jesus is just whoever we want him to be. Take the second group - those who need everything “proved” before they can accept something as real or true. Don’t we fall into this trap sometimes too? Sometimes we see our doubts as evidence that we don’t believe. Sometimes the questions we have, the not knowing, the lack of complete com-prehension or understanding, keeps us from being able to step out in faith, keeps us from stepping out into the unknown, keeps us from taking a chance on God, keep us from trusting and hoping in some-thing and someone we can’t completely get our minds around. The challenge for us this day is to somehow be ok in that middle-ground, in the in-between, in that place where neither certainty nor unexamined questions have a place. Rather, can we be a people who believe in God and wonder who God is at the same time? Follow Jesus and still wonder if our pic-ture of him is even close to being complete? Hope in the power of the resurrection, while still wonder-ing what all of this means? Accept God’s commandments, yet still wrestle with tough moral issues? Trust that Jesus is the Way, while still respecting and being understanding of those of other faiths (or no faith)? Strive to embrace church teaching, even if the reasons for those teachings aren’t really all that clear or obvious to us? Believe in things unseen, while still using our minds and reason to strengthen and examine our convictions? Follow Jesus in all things, walking hand in hand with him, even if we can’t see the path ahead? Keep hoping and trusting and believing in a loving God, even when we are suffering or full of sorrow? Listen to the voice within, while still believing that others can reveal God to us too? A life of faith is full of these sorts of “disconnects” --- apparent paradoxes that we are asked to embrace and live out. Faith is really not about being completely certain. Nor is it about following blind-ly without using the minds that God gave us. Rather, it’s about stepping out into the unknown, without having every answer, without having everything “ igured out”, without really “knowing” the mind of God --- yet striving for wisdom and knowledge and understanding every step of the way. It’s believing and wanting reasons to believe at the same time. In fact, it’s actually a little like Thomas (the one we often unfairly criticize), who probably
continued...
wanted desperately to believe his friends, yet needed a little reassurance, a little evidence, a little un-derstanding, a little light to illuminate an incredible claim. May each of us this day give our lives over completely to someone unseen --- while at the same time praying that God will give us whatever “evidence” we need to keep on trusting in him and hoping in his promises and living completely for him and for others. Jesus, I believe in you. Help me to believe even more deeply.
Fr. Eric

Divine Mercy Sunday John 20:19-31
“Peace be with you!”
Despite all that Jesus had taught his disciples, all that he had done in their presence, all that he had endured, his death and resurrec on, they were hiding behind locked doors. They had not lost faith in Jesus, but they we not sure what to be-lieve. When Jesus appeared to his disciples a er his Resur-rec on, he greeted them with his wish for them: “Peace be with you!” And that is what Jesus wants for us. God, in his infinite mercy, reaches out to us through the Sacrament of Reconcilia on so we can know true Peace. In the early church the forgiveness of sins occurred in the context of a community of followers of Jesus Christ. The story of Ananias and his wife is such an event. Today the Sacrament of Recon-cilia on is available to us in a private encounter with Jesus through a priest who acts in persona Chris . It is an oppor-tunity for us to experience the Divine Mercy of God for us when we fail to be all that He created us to be. When the priest speaks the words of absolu on, Jesus is saying to us “Peace be with you.”
