Our Weekly Thought – April 13 - 19, 2020

We usually rag on Thomas for doubting (John 20:19-31). I think he just wanted to be there when Jesus showed up to the rest of his friends. We can’t always be present in the community we prefer. Still, we should expect God’s presence in each and every community and be grateful whenever that presence is so distinct even we can sense it. The disciples were huddled in a locked room, out of fear. We are isolated, waiting out an unprecedented virus. In the midst of our waiting, open our eyes, Lord, to the gift of your wonder and love.
