Saint Thomas, Apostle

Ever-trusting faith

John 20:24-29

Our faith tells us, "We are standing in a firm foundation of the apostles with Jesus as the cornerstone."  This faith is also grounded on the faith of St. Thomas, commonly labeled as the "doubter."

Thomas' disbelief is more of a deep yearning to see Jesus who deepened his experience by saying, "Happy are those who haven't seen and yet believed."

What constitute this ever-trusting faith in the Almighty?

First, believe in God's presence in the world today, in us and around us.  We can actually "see" him in one another.

Second, respond also in faith.  For children, we can develop an early positive experience of faith through our own lives lived in love.  Show to them the love of God himself.  Only then can we know that God resides in our hearts.
