2nd Sunday of Easter

Reflection

“Jesus said to him, “Have you come to believe because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed.””  ~ John 20:29

Prayer

Almighty and eternal God,

Despite his label as ‘Doubting Thomas,’ the apostle Thomas makes the most profound expression of faith in the Christian scriptures, referring to Jesus as ‘my Lord and my God.’ Through the faith of Thomas and the other disciples who saw and believed, many through the centuries who have not seen have come to faith. May we who have not seen as Thomas did come to deeper faith through our celebration of the sacred season of Easter. May the risen Jesus be present in the lives of others through us. We make this prayer through Christ our Risen Lord. Amen.

Call to Action

Take time today to reflect on what nourishes your faith, what challenges it, and what you can do to deepen it.
