SAINT THOMAS SUNDAY

It is most especially in John’s Gospel that we learn about Thomas. At a dangerous time in our Lord’s

life, when he decided to visit Lazarus in Bethany, it was Thomas who said: "Let us also go, that we

may die with him". He shows us that the most important thing is never to distance oneself from Jesus.

The life of a Christian is one spent together with the Lord. At the Last Supper it is Thomas who says:

"Lord, we do not know where you are going, so how can we know the way?" His question leads to the

celebrated response: "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life". A further episode in Thomas’ life is well

known to us all: that of the ‘doubting Thomas’, who says "unless I see in his hands the print of the

nails, and place my finger in the mark of the nails … I will not believe". Yet, once Jesus appears to

him he utters the most splendid profession of faith in all the New Testament: "My Lord and my God!"

Let us take heart from the life of Thomas: he comforts us in our uncertainty; shows us that doubt can

lead to spiritual growth, and he helps us learn from Jesus the true meaning of mature faith,

encouraging us to persevere as disciples of Christ! Pope Benedict XVI
