How often isn't it true that our strengths areaffirmed by another, and that we are helpedto overcome weaknesses by knowing thatanother has faced and mastered the sameweaknesses? The testimony of others canhave a powerful effect on us, encouraging
and assuring us in our hesitations and doubts. Not so withThomas; even the rejoicing of the disciples in seeing the Lordwasn't able to bring Thomas to belief in the resurrection.
Thomas asks for physical proof that Jesus is alive. He couldhave seen the proof in the disciples themselves who had beentransformed from fear to rejoicing because of their encounterwith the risen Lord. Yet, he was unbelieving – blind, unseeing –to the possibility of life coming from death.
The challenge in the gospel is for Thomas to go from unbelief tobelief in the risen Lord. The challenge for us is to go from payinglip service to belief in the resurrection to its being a dynamicbelieving, which makes an actual difference in the way we liveour daily lives and how we ultimately approach each other inrelationships. We ourselves are called to be the presence of therisen Lord in today's world, bringing life our of death.
Love and Prayers...Fr. Sean

These things bring us to the clear realization of God’sever present goodness to us. All of us are abundantly nourishedin God’s love when we approach the Sacrament of the Eucharistduring the Easter Season, and indeed, week after week duringthe year! Easter is so special that the Church celebrates it, notjust for a day...but for 50 days, the longest of any of theseasons of the Church year! It is during these precious weekswhen the young children of our parish family, who arepreparing for First Eucharist, will receive Jesus for the first time. What a beautiful experience, not only for those families, but forour entire parish family as well! For each of us, Easter time callsus to renewal of spirit so that we may more clearly hear theGOOD NEWS that, in Christ, life has overcome death, light hastriumphed over darkness. CHRIST IS RISEN! ALLELUIA!Have a blessed Easter Season! Lisa
