Daily Mass: What we learn from doubting Thomas
Catholic Inspiration
In many ways, the doubts of the Apostle Thomas reflect the questions that surface in the hearts of young adults today. Through truth, beauty and goodness we provide opportunities that help them see something bigger than themselves...leading to an encounter with God.
info_outlineThere are many ways to say "I love you" to the people in our lives:
- with words
- with actions
- being present to another in silence and stillness
The reality of love, its power and beauty, can thus be expressed in many different ways. Similarly, the love of God is revealed to us through the mystery of the Trinity: one God, revealed in three Persons.
May we enter into this great mystery of God's love, and may we express this love - in a variety of powerful ways - to the people in our lives.
