In the Gospel reading, we see more than a Resurrection appearance of Jesus to his disciples; we also see their joy and the transformation of their lives. because of the new courage that followed from their faith, the disciples move from a state of fear to joy. The second half of the Gospel depicts Thomas’ struggle to believe in the Resurrection. The passage challenges Christians to do better, to believe without seeing.
