Let us all dedicate some prayer time in the upcoming week to the doubting Thomases we have in our own lives. Immediate family, extended family, close friends — we all know and love those who struggle to believe what they cannot see.
My humble prayer will be: “Lord, please let me, even in my wounded imperfect state – as you were when you appeared to the twelve after your Resurrection-, serve as an inspiration of faith to those for whom I care most deeply. Please offer them your peace even though they do not yet see you.”
