Then he said to Thomas, “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.”

Thomas answered and said to him,

“My Lord and my God!”

Jesus said to him, “Have you come to believe because you

have seen me? Blessed are those

who have not seen and have believed.”

John 20:27-29

“The community of believers was of one heart and mind, and no one claimed that any of his posses-sions was his own. . . .”

Acts 4:32

All that we are and all that we have is a gift from God! Think of your family, your friends, your tal-ents, your abilities and your money – these are all gifts from God! We aren’t really owners of any-thing, we are merely “stewards” of the gifts given to us by God. “La comunidad de creyentes tenía un solo corazón y una sola alma, y nadie consideraba como suyo lo que poseía, sino que todo lo tenían en común . . .”

Hechos4:32

¡Todo lo que somos y todo lo que tenemos es un regalo de Dios! Piensa en tu familia, tus amigos, tus talentos, tus habilidades y tu dinero. ¡Todos estos son regalos de Dios! En realidad, no somos dueños de nada, simplemente somos “administradores” de los dones con los que Dios nos ha bendecido.

Gospel: John 20:19–31 Adults: What can I do to inspire my family to re-semble the first Christians? Children: What can my family and I do to help others who are in need? Evangelio: Juan 20, 19-31 Adultos: ¿Cómo puedo infundir en mi familia el deseo de imitar a los primeros cristianos? Niños: ¿Cómo podemos mi familia y yo ayudar a los necesitados?

That we may learn to see all of our blessings as

abundant gifts from God so that we may use them

for the benefit of all God’s people.

Que podamos aprender a ver todas nuestras ben-

diciones como regalos abundantes de Dios para

que podamos usarlos para el beneficio de todo el

pueblo de Dios
