“Thomas, called Didymus, one of the Twelve, was not with them when Jesus came. So the other disciples said to him, "We have seen the Lord." But Thomas said to them, "Unless I see the mark of the nails in his hands and put my finger into the nail marks and put my hand into his side, I will not believe." Now a week later his disciples were again inside and Thomas was with them. Jesus came, although the doors were locked, and stood in their midst and said, "Peace be with you." 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 20:24-29

Sowing the seed of doubt is a tactic used by the enemy in the battle against God’s children. Like Thomas, how is it that we’ve seen such amazing things done by the Lord, and yet we still doubt? We live in a fallen world that tries to hide God from us and tries to show us the constructs of the universe, without including God the Creator. If we open the eyes of our souls, we see that God is the construct that holds all things together. We see that God is the God of impossibilities, and it is in that knowledge we gain the faith that we can say and believe that through the Holy Trinity, all things are indeed possible. And, it is with this blessed knowledge and faith in God that the doubt of the enemy can no longer take root.

Saint Thomas the Apostle, pray for us.
