The Second Sunday of Easter

Thomas heard about Jesus’ resurrection appearance in the Upper Room but was not there to witness it himself. Jesus returns a week later to speak to Thomas, urging him to touch His hands and side, not to doubt but believe. In looking at Jesus we behold what we shall be. Christ shows us the victory over death and corruption that we will have. Those who follow Jesus share a unique hope, the hope of the resurrection of the body and the life of the world to come.
