From On Belief in the Physical Resurrection of Jesus by Denise Levertov
This past Sunday, churches around the world heard the famous doubting Thomas story from the Gospel of John (John 20:24), one of the many wonderful Resurrection stories we hear during the Easter season. It s a familiar story, and the usual take-away is the same: We should believe in Christ s resurrection without needing to see proof of it.
A couple of years ago, Thomas feast day (July 3) happened to take place during my annual retreat. This was the first time I d made a retreat without a director or a program, so I let the Scriptures for the day be my guide. I spent this entire day reflecting on the Gospel for the feast, which was, of course, the doubting Thomas story. But I also spent the day reflecting on Caravaggio s masterpiece, The Incredulity of St. Thomas, a painting I was familiar with but had never thought much about.
Celebrate Sunday Mass - Divine Mercy Sunday - 4.11.21
Dear Catholic Online Community and Catholic Online School students.
I AM HAPPY TO OFFER EACH OF YOU AN INVITATION TO HOLY MASS ON THE SECOND SUNDAY OF EASTER in the Catholic Diocese of Tyler. The response to offering these liturgies online has been overwhelming. The readings, as always, offer so much for us to reflect on. It is helpful to pray through them and reflect upon them before we assist at Holy Mass.
In our first reading for this Second Sunday of Easter, Divine Mercy Sunday, we hear of the Way of Life which the earliest Christians followed. They were united in both heart and soul and shared what they had with one another. They listened regularly to the instruction and teaching of the Apostles, the first Bishops.
