- Jesus appears to the apostles to assure them that He has indeed risen from the dead.
- He knows of their angst and sadness about His death.
- He wants them to know about the peace and strength He brings with His Resurrection.
- He wants them to know that He is truly the Son of God.
- But Thomas, who had not been present when Jesus first appeared, would not believe.
- Jesus returned when Thomas was present and presented his wounds for Thomas’ inspection.
- Who then finally believed?
- How much like Thomas are we, always needing proof – a sign?
- Trust and faith are what will bring us comfort and peace.
- Divine Mercy comes to those who trust and accept what Jesus says on faith.
- Can we get beyond our need for proof and receive all the grace Jesus has to offer us?
