Thomas the Doubter? - Daily Gospel Reflection

Today is the feast of St. Thomas the apostle, the Gospel reading is John 20:24-29. It is the moment that Thomas demands to place his hand in the Lord’s side. What must be remembered before this event, Thomas is (mistakingly) ready to go into battle for the Lord, to die for the Lord. He’s ready to do whatever it takes. He’s no doubter at all.

Moreover, as soon as he sees the Lord he confesses Jesus as Lord and God. Thomas is the great paradigm of zeal and conversion.

Let us pray that the Lord would grant us the same confession of Faith as Thomas, who seeing the Risen Lord says, "my Lord and my God".
