Thought for the Week | Our human nature seeks hard evidence that the Jesus who appeared to his disciples after his death is indeed the same Jesus who was crucified. Thomas is given the opportunity to be our representative in obtaining this evidence. He gives witness to us that the Jesus who was raised is the same Jesus who died.

Thought for the Week | Today we begin the Easter Season, our 50-day meditation on the mystery of Christ’s Resurrection. Our Gospel on this Easter Sunday tells us about the disciples’ discovery of the empty tomb. It concludes by telling us that they did not yet understand that Jesus had risen from the dead.

These are only steps on the way. The story does not end there; but we are called to stand at the cross before we can stand at empty tomb at Easter.
Thought for the Week | In John’s reflection, in today’s gospel, we find an observation about human sinfulness. Jesus is the light that has come into the world, but people preferred the darkness. We wish to keep our sins hidden, even from God. Jesus has come into the world to reveal our sins so that they may be forgiven. This is the Good News; it is the reason for our rejoicing in this season of Lent and throughout our lives Read more
