I don’t buy that Thomas was a doubter. I think he was a mystic, a mystic like Pope Francis. Pope Francis was a voice, yes, but he also ways a way-shower. He showed us this way of Jesus time and again. I wish more Catholics, more Christians, were like Francis.

Truth in Disbelieving Times (or, Thomas in the days of “Fake News”)
This story is a miracle. Thomas, like so many before him, is healed by Christ’s touch. Healed of his grief, of his disbelief. Easter tells us there are Truths which are universal. There are Truths which outlast even the worst news. There is Truth worth believing.
