Dear Thomas, Thank You

December 21, 2018 By Maria Kane 2 Comments

Dear Thomas, As we celebrate your feast day today I can’t help but cringe when I think about the number of times I’ve heard people chide the use of your modern-day nickname “Doubting Thomas.” As much as I’d rather not admit it, I, too, have declared from the pulpit that it’s demeaning and unfair to emphasize your apparent skepticism surrounding Jesus’ resurrection.

Christ accepted Thomas’s questions. That’s a parenting lesson for me.

Jesus doesn’t scold or question Thomas; instead, he offers Thomas exactly what he needs.

Jesus welcomed St. Thomas’s doubt. What about mine?

Jesus never condemns Thomas. Instead, he invites Thomas to come closer.
