Holy Mother Church celebrates today the Feast of my favorite Apostle, Saint Thomas the "Doubter," a moniker for which he is somewhat deserving but not entirely.If you have not yet done so today, be sure to read again Pope Benedict XVI's catechesis on Saint Thomas. Here, a teaser:
The Apostle Thomas' case is important to us for at least three reasons: first, because it comforts us in our insecurity; second, because it shows us that every doubt can lead to an outcome brighter than any uncertainty; and, lastly, because the words that Jesus addressed to him remind us of the true meaning of mature faith and encourage us to persevere, despite the difficulty, along our journey of adhesion to him.
