Today’s Gospel should question us about our testimony. We cannot claim that we have met Jesus if our lives do not show the indelible signs of this encounter. We must be careful not to be those responsible for the doubt in so many men and women who seek untiringly the traces of the Risen One in us. Perhaps it would be better to accept the doubts that hide in us, our incredulity, our kinship with Thomas, so as not to frighten ourselves if we find that we live our spiritual lives imperfectly, sometimes believing and sometimes doubting. The good news is that even when the doors of our hearts are closed, Jesus comes to visit us all the same.
Adults: What hinders you from keeping the doors of your heart open?
Children: Even though you can’t see Jesus with your eyes, how do you “see” Jesus in others?
